Congrats to 62% of you. The comparison here is between "extent," singular, and "that," singular. It's a match!

Shouldn't it read "that of Dresden's?" The statement is comparing the extent of death and destruction to the city Dresden proper and not to the war-time effects themselves.
Hi. I should have said that this sentence described another German city, so it was comparing the extent of death and destruction in both places. So, here is a better rewrite:
The extent of death and destruction in Hamburg exceeded that in Dresden.
