You say that many Americans were appalled at the destruction at Dresden, Yet when America fire bombed the cities in Japan it made Dresden look like a sunday school picnic.
The Japanese cities were bombed with napalm and around 100.000 died in Tokyo, more people died in this attack than died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki put together. Yet they will happily have a go at the RAF for carrying out the raid on Dresden.
Curtis Lemay was just as bad or worse than Bomber Harris. Regardless of who killed more by bombing civilian population centers and they both approved operations that took many 100.000's of thousands of lives. They both had a complete lack of respect for civilian casualties. Oh BTW didn't the Americans participate in the bombing of Dresden as well. I thought after the British hit the city a wave of American bombers came in afterword's?
