Re: B-29s Firebombing Japan
Utterly appalling eh?
I once noted these incidents to my mother who was an avid reader. She had thought that the bombing during the 'Blitz' in England had been the worst ever seen. IIRC 'only' 30,000 killed in the Blitz.
As an aside, I think it shows an incredible tenacity, will or just plain fear of authority that the Japanese were willing to keep going after such a raid. Thanks for the info TT. Fascinating stuff.
