I thought this might be of interest to some; here in the UK a TV series was recently aired called Blitz Street, where the effect of various WWII bombs was measured on a mock 1940's street. I have included a link to a YouTube vid that summarises the effect of 3 bombs but I urge anyone interested in the subject to look for the full episodes.

Huh very interesting. This makes me feel less frustrated about killing tanks. I used to be annoyed that I could land a 1000 kg bomb within several meters of a tank and not even scare it. I would have thought that even if the tank itself survived, the blast wave ought to kill the crew. However, if people in a little dirt and steel shelter would have suffered only ear damage 22 m from such a blast I should think tank crews would only be stunned. I would assume they all wore ear protection anyway to protect against their own main gun.
