What was the estimated number of Allied casualties from a land invasion of Japan and then The estimated number of Japanese casualties including both civilian and military?
Cryrichter
The estimates were all over the place. To refute the people who opposed using the a-bomb, Truman said it had saved 1 million casualties and later he said 500,000. That really started it all. The best book you can get from your library about the whole scenario, in my opinion, is "Code-Name Downfall" by Thomas Allen, it shows all estimates and makes a final conclusion on the best ones for the invasion of southern Japan. All I can say is "Thank the Lord" we did not have to invade. Think of both the US and Japanese deaths if that had been necessary.

Battle of Berlin April 1945 casualties?
The Russians admitted 300,000 casualties with 75,000 dead. Their true number of casualties was certainly much higher, perhaps double the official numbers. The German casualties were estimated at 100,000 military or paramilitary including Volksrum and Hitler youth, along with an additional 175,000 civilian casualties, for a total of 275,000. Again the numbers are most likely low. Some authoritative estimates place the combined number of casualties for all combatants at over 1,000,000. No matter what the true numbers were two facts stand out. Urban warfare which becomes house to house and street to street fighting is extremely expensive in lives and always leads to horrific casualty counts.
