Was there Western tactical air support during the Battle for Berlin?
Upvote:8
The US Army Air Force did not, as a matter of policy, operate in Soviet theatres of battle.
Earlier on in the war there were several extremely unpleasant friendly fire incidents. In one case on November 7, 1944, American fighter aircraft from the 15th Air Force based in Italy strafed a Soviet column in Yugoslavia thinking it was retreating Germans. Many Russian soldiers, including officers, were killed. Incidents such as this quickly led to an exclusion policy.
