Remember General Curtis LeMay commanded the bombers to drop INCENDIARY bombs on Toyko from only 500 ft , which in Feb 1945 was largely consisting of wooden structures of all types creating a massive firestorm similar to Dresden on the other side of the planet being incinerated at the same time.
What this post clearly illustrates is if the objective of the 1945 Tokyo raids was to terrorize the population into surrender, they failed miserably on one hand, but succeeded admirably here.
