Carpet Bombing facts
While investigating facts about Carpet Bombing, I found out little known, but curios details like:
Allied carpet bombing of Tokyo killed more civilians than the atomic bombing of both Nagasaki and Hiroshima combined.
On March 10, 1945, the U.S. carpet bombed Tokyo (specifically the area with homes made of wood and paper) with napalm, killing 105,400 people - putting it somewhere between the death toll of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 8 of the best facts about Carpet Bombing I managed to collect.
