Under the almost mad Air Force General Curtis LeMay the American bombed Japan to bits. Since most Japanese cities were built with wood Curtis ordered incendiary bombs to be used instead of normal bombs - and the effect was devastating.

On March the 10th 1945 more than 25% of Tokyo was destroyed and over 100.000 people were killed. That us MUCH more than in Dresden (were estimates range from 24.000 to 40.000). Even Hiroshima (est. 80.000 direct deaths) and Nakasaki (est. 40.000 to 75.000 deaths).

But the firebombing of Tokyo is one of the many forgotten war crimes and human disasters.
