Hello everybody,
and here we go again with this " new " defender of the PoW , ... and that alone reminds me of somebody else leaving the forum time ago, ... but you cannot tell who the " hooligan/deniers " are because they do not like to put their real names on the forum, ... and this alone tells the whole story about their fairness.
Still the same useless refrain on and on again, ... your A & A conspiracy theory instead of the analysis and comments of the facts, ... those facts :
poor " hooligan/denier " on a desperate attempt to try to explain in any possible different way why Adm Pound wanted a Board of Inquiry ( and after the obvious subsequent Court Martial see art.703 ) on 2 coward Officers and wrote it to Adm Tovey which refused to do it ( ADM 178/322 ).
Poor persons trying to avoid to comment on why all the actions related to those 2 Officers showing their very " timid conduct " ( cowardice ) has been immediately intentionally altered by Adm Tovey and why the Royal Navy Admiralty approved this shame (ADM 205/10 ).
I can imagine the inventions needed to explain why after such a series of " Cover Up " events, those 2 cowards has been rewarded by the King.
Not an easy explanation, given the evidence at hand well available and the explanation of what happened thanking to Stephen Roskill, ... the Official Royal Navy historian for World War 2 ( on 2 published books ).
Poor " hooligan/ deniers " desperately hanging on " the guy " now, ... after having desperately tried to involve into this Bill Jurens, ... and loosing anyhow this debate and their relative small dignity left, ... more and more every day.
This is a story started ( May 28th, 1941 ) by the Royal Navy Admiralty Sea Lord Adm Sir D. Pound ( prodded by the Prime Minister Sir W. Churchill ) with his request of a Board of Inquiry ( ADM 178/322 ) on 2 Royal Navy Officers conduct while in action ( according to the Articles of War in place ).
This is a shameful story of " Cover Up " altering documents ( on his dispatches ) by the Commander in Chief Home Fleet Adm J. Tovey as a reaction to the above request.
This is a story of the Admiralty board later accepting an intentional falsified version of the facts ( the Adm Tovey dispatches ) and approving it, with his cowards and lairs content well known to them all ( ADM 205/10 )
This is a story of the final rewarding of the 2 directly involved Officers by the KIng thru the London Gazette on October 1941.
This is a story of the Royal Navy Official Historian for World War 2 Stephen Roskill correspondence with Adm J. Tovey knowing and already publishing a good part of it on his 2 books.
This is a story already partially explained and published by the majority of the British historians on their books.
But still the Royal Navy " hooligan/deniers " like to think ( joking themselves ) that it is story ( calling it a conspiracy theory ) invented by A & A recently, ... and like to avoid to discuss the above irrefutable evidence, ... and what they demonstrate.
The only credit we have is to have connected the whole occurred and well documented events in a logical way, ... and I have realized and perfectly understood why Stephen Roskill and the other historians did not do it, ... looking at your reactions here too.
Those " sacred cows " are still a problem to be managed and the majority of the British readers are not ready to realize the real, complete and fully detailed truth, ... even if recently produced movies like " Darkest Hour " should open a bit their minds on what was needed to be done to manage that period successfully.
Sir Winston Churchill on September 1939 to Adm Godfrey : " Good news was made to seem better; bad news was toned down, delayed or sometimes suppressed ". From : David Reynolds - In Command of History - London - Penguin 2005
Lies on that " darkest " period were necessary, ... the truth was a problem to be managed and a luxury no one can afford on 1940/1941 in UK, ... neither Sir W. Churchill.
It will take time to have the British readers to digest the cold hard truth, ... but there is no other way out now.
Bye Antonio
In order to honor a soldier, we have to tell the truth about what happened over there. The whole, hard, cold truth. And until we do that, we dishonor her and every soldier who died, who gave their life for their country. ( Courage Under Fire )
