What do we know about the Bomb? (From Christopher Harding's book 'Japan Story'.)
Two were dropped- five more were prepared.
about 11,000 Koreans are thought to have died; slave labourers, brought to Japan to work in factories.
92% of all the doctors and other health professionals are thought to have died because the bombs destroyed at least three large hospitals.
After the war, the Japanese were told that if they referred to the dropping of the bombs, they should also remark that over 100,500 people were killed in the Japanese assault on Manila, Philippines.
The fire bombing of Tokyo killed more people that both atomic bombs put together.
Death tolls.
Tokyo - 100,000
Hiroshima - 90,000 and 146,000
Nagasaki -39,000 and 80,000
