doolittle raids resulted in many more casualties than Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined
66,000 died in the Hiroshima attack and 39,000 died in Nagaski. But in comparison these raids pale in comparison to what occured after the Doolittle raids on Japan. The Japanese in retaliation for the Chinese aiding the downed flyers shot, bayonetted, raped, drowned, burned alive and beheaded an estimated 200,000 Chinese civilians and 50,000 Chinese POWs In every village the downed airmen travled through the population was massacred and the village razed to the ground.
