The US role in the bombing of Dresden...

Why is there little mention of the role that the USAAF played in the terrible bombing of this German town in early 1945?

The RAF heavy bombers went in at night, dropping high explosives first to blast out windows and other obstacles- then other RAF waves dropped incenduaries so as to create horrific firestorms.

But the role of the USAAF heavy bombers that followed the RAF during the very next day in concert with their allies seems to be largely omitted.
Even Churchill- a previously-enthusiastic supporter of Harris' policy to flatten Nazi Germany- felt it necessary to distance himself from Harris's "terror bombing", but what about the American role?

Political expedience? Or American mardiness - as earlier shown in the 'Bulge' campaign of late 1944 when this time the British part in halting the Nazi armoured thrust from the Ardennes to the north coast(by Monty's XXX Corps) was suppressed by American commanders(ie, Bradley and Patton, also Ike who had been in hiding from Skorzeny's commandos), aiming to prevent a US homeland getting upset because a British General had been in charge temporarily.

If the pompous and omnipotent-wannabe Setanta doesn't like someone else posting a thread, switch off now...
