Yes. About 172,000.

The cities population was about 340,000 in 1945. When the atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima the death toll came to 168,000.

Note: I visited the Atomic Bomb Memorial site in Hiroshima. It is a very sobering experience of what the atomic bomb can do. There is hardly anything left standing in the city at the epicenter of the explosion. People were completely vaporized. Many people died in the explosion, but 10,000's more died afterward because of radiation caused infections.

Is there anybody that disagree that Truman should not have used the atomic bomb?

My opinion is, Truman should have used the atomic bomb. If he hadn't the war would have continued, and more would have died. Also I think that at one point the Axis would have dropped a atomic bomb on an allied city, possibly killing more then at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
