In March 1945, the Nazi regime ordered its press to publish a falsified casualty figure of 200,000 for the Dresden raids, and death toll estimates as high as 500,000 have been given. The city authorities at the time estimated no more than 25,000 victims, a figure which subsequent investigations, including one commissioned by the city council in 2010, support. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Dresden_in_World_War_II
Впрочем, помимо Дрездена был еще и Гамбург, там погибло больше.
