Estimates vary greatly as to the casualties to American Forces for Operation OLYMPIC, the invasion of Kyushu, planned for Nov. 1, 1945 & Operation CORONET, the invasion of Honshu, planned for Mar. 1, 1946. I respectfully suggest the following book that covers the casualty estimates in detail.

Codename: DOWNFALL by Thomas B. Allen & Norman Polmar New York Simon & Schuster 1995 ISBN: 0-684-80406-9

250.000 to 500,000 would be a safe guess including my dad and uncles. so i am glad that we dropped the A bomb on Japan.
