which one is it?--Jarodalien (talk) 07:05, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

241,000 to 900,000 killed ??
Adding the number of killed by the firebombing of Tokyo, March 10, 1945 and the number of killed in atomic bombings of two cities, August 1945 alone, one arrives at roughly a quarter of a million fatalities, at least - Wonder why such a wide range of "speculation" remains to this day. The lower end would mean that the firebombings of a host of Japanese cities up to August, 1945, would have counted for just a few thousand killed, if any ?? --213.172.123.242 (talk) 15:30, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
