Agreed!
Harris, like Churchill, Monty, and Patton etc, were ruthless, driven men who used all the assets at their disposal
to win the war that had to be won. Perhaps they didn't have the luxury of feeling to much sympathy for the innocent if they were to
do such demanding work.
The Russians were putting pressure on the western allies to invade France. The Americans and Brits needed more time to prepare.
The bombing war was a second front that cost Germany its air force, and a lot of materiel destined for France '44.
The British bomber crews themselves had a hard time about the deaths of civilians, but saw it as necessary, and got on with the job.
The Americans may not have felt so bad on that score, with the accurate targetting they could achieve in daylight.
Very brave men all.
Dresden was tragic whatever the numbers.
It would be nice to go back to 1938 with todays precision weapons and just take out the bad guys.
