Hmmm, after the war the allies were surprised how few people they actually killed with their bombing raids. It could be interesting tocompare the amount of bombs they dropped on German cities and the death toll amongst civilians (500.000). They had expected to have killed several millions.
Which is understandable in it's own way. The sight of complete cities in ruin and the stories of bomber crews returning from flights over Hamburg, Dresden or Pforsheim must have made quite an impact.
