Dresden and Evill's name

[edit]

" In recent times, critics of the RAF's bombing of German cities have suggested that because of his support for such bombing, Evill was aptly named."

This is just casual abuse. I don't agree that it adds anything to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.147.20.185 (talk) 14:34, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fortunately that comment is now gone, but that whole passage of the article is foolish and undue, since Evill as VCAS was merely describing, in the absence of his chief (Sir Charles Portal, then absent en route to the Yalta Conference along with Churchill and the other Chiefs of Staff), a policy decided by others -- those others being the Prime Minister, the War Cabinet, the Chiefs of Staff and the Joint Intelligence Committee (or, to give it its proper name, the Joint Intelligence Sub-Committee of the Chiefs of Staff Committee).
