Bomber Harris

Your editorial stating the reluctance of the U.S. 8th Air Force and U.S. Strategic Air Forces to bomb Dresden twists WWII history to evade blame. Orders for both Overlord (Allied invasion of Europe) and Pointblank (Allied invasion of Germany) were issued by Supreme Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower to USAF Gen. Carl Spaatz and RAF Air Marshal Norman Bottomley.
