Hello Antonio,
Once again you bend the truth to your purpose. But first, let me remind you (in case you had forgotten) who made this May 31st letter available to all interested parties and who refuses to make the so-called "Silver Bullet" available.
somebody here above has finally admitted that the Board of Inquiry was asked in writings,
We
infer from Tovey's writing that Pound wanted an enquiry into W-W and Leach's conduct, but until we have the 24th May letter
we do not know exactly what Pound asked for. Tovey's phrase "under any circumstances" is revealing. It is either just reinforcement, that is to say even if you gave me a direct order under threat, it would not happen or it refers to a qualification that Pound wrote in his May 24th letter?
This might have been,
my speculation, "Winston is being tiresome again, just as in the Somerville case, and in order to mollify him, I want you to do some sort of Board of Enquiry, which will of course find there is no case to answer." (Because there is no case to answer, not because of a Conspiracy.) Tovey, who is aware of the sense of outrage at all levels in the fleet over the Board of Enquiry carried out on fellow Admiral Somerville, regarding an action in which he,Tovey, was a subordinate to him, says "not under
any circumstances" that is whether it was a serious concern over the accused's performance or merely a charade to persuade Winston to stop interfering.
This seems to me extremely likely. Tovey spends little time defending W-W and Leach's actions, dismisses Pound's request in a peremptory fashion, and moves on swiftly to other, more cheerful matters. It is clear he knows Pound does not believe there is actually a case for W-W and Leach to answer, presumably from his wording of the May 24th letter, and he wastes no time in an extended defence. He knows Pound will accede. As we know "he heard no more of the matter".
Pound could give Wake-Walker the effective role of C-in-C Home Fleet for the forthcoming carrier operations and return Leach to his ship ready to chauffeur Winston across the Atlantic, not because of a complex reimagining of reports, but because there never was any cause for an enquiry in the first place. He had complete faith in his officers.
I am not sure if I am the particular
incompetent ignorant limited brain writing here above
so even the very limited brain one's can read them if mother language
But I have read
to read carefully Stephen Roskill
and I know he deliberately offloaded responsibility for the veracity of Tovey's allegations onto Kennedy. I have read the
ADM 205/10 at pages 331, 332, 333 and 334.
even before you, and I know that nowhere do they mention discipline, or Board of Enquiry and certainly not Court Martial.
All the best
