The bombings took place in Tokyo on the nights of the 9th and 10th of March 1945. In this particular attack over 330 B-29s dropped some 2000 tonnes of fire-bombs over Tokyo. The result was to be an overwhelming fire-storm raging over the city destroying everything its way. This was much due to large portions of Tokyo at the time was built by wood and paper and further attack on Tokyo and other Japanese cities such as Nagoya, Kobe and Osaka were carried out throughout the rest of the war. The devastation was immense with about 40 km2 of the city burnt down along with over 250 000 buildings of the city completely destroyed, leaving one million people on the streets. Not even the atomic bombs five month later caused as much material damage. No exact figures of the number of human deaths have been established but most research point towards at 100,000 dead civilians.
