Hello everybody,
I see a lot of “ meat on the fireplace “, … very good.
Ok, lets start from my December 2005 re-construction, surely good for 11 years ago and enough to dismantle the “ reversed photo theory “, but with some mistakes on it … and surely possible to be improved with my future release.
Today, and I thank for the nice compliments, it is surely still the most precise and better re-construction of this battle out there.
If anybody will publish something about it from now on, … it will be my pleasure to read it and comment about it, … just like I did for Santarini book and for many other books about Bismarck and Denmark Strait, … where even my older 2003 version was “ plagiarized “ taken and used.
Moving to the famous “ 06.13” time for PoW retreat, we long discussed about it time ago.
It is wrong and it was corrected officially by the Royal Navy Admiralty on 1948.
It is useless to discuss about this any more, given the Official Royal Navy Admiralty new position/correction about it.
We can discuss about why it was written erroneously at first, but not the fact that it was surely wrong.
Same apply for the “ around 15 sea miles “ distance for Suffolk/Norfolk and for “ The Plot “.
@ Herr Nilsson,
what is the “ Official Version “ of the battle you are referring to ?
I am curious about it now.
I like your comments :
To make it clear, I don't want to discredit anyones work.
Antonio's reconstruction including a cover up is one possible solution.
Yes, I consider it possible.
I even consider it possible that there was some embellishment.
But the whole storyline is built on very shaky ground and sometimes so far-fetched, that it's very unlikely.
In my opinion it needs to many bells and whistles to work (the poor Captain Phillips for example ).
That's why I think it leads into a dead end.
I'm pretty sure that there is a much more elegant solution.
Thanks for allowing my current theory to be possible.
I like and respect others opinion, especially your one.
This is the reason why I asked your help as well as the one of many others here in because of your competences, … even the “ British Hooligans “ refusing everything in line of principle.
Lets work on this in a productive way.
@ Wadinga,
I have asked you a precise question days ago about the 06.03 and 45 seconds timing correlation with PoW GAR gunnery map local salvo 20th landing and the Prinz Eugen battle map first turn.
Instead of keep on writing that everything I am making is surely incorrect because cannot be demostrated being 100 % perfect, … which is useless, … stay on the singular questions and respond : do you agree with me or not ? If not : Why ? What is your timing for those events ?
@ Alecsandros,
Tampering, … Sugar Coat ( what about Chocolate coating ? ) … Embellishment ( Ref. Churchill suggestion to Godfrey ) … or Cover Up, … the point remains that somebody took the “ freedom “ to intentionally change some data, previous declarations, distances and timing, … even produced an incorrect map for a board, … and by doing this created the reference base to sell a different story of this battle events.
You can call it the way you like it better … but that was surely done.
Personally I cannot see a more “ elegant way “ to describe it … rather that writing the truth without personal comments, … enabling the readers to make up their own opinion about all this.
@ Dunmunro,
we have so many changes of previous released declarations by Suffolk ( Ellis ) and Norfolk ( Wake-Walker ) that one can realize what was true from what was incorrect ( false ) still with lot of difficulties.
This is the problem, … and demonstrate the evident “ cover up “ activity being done.
Talking about changing initial declarations ... here following we have another evidence about it.
@ CAG,
here for you the radio message sent by Capt Leach a couple of hours after the battle on May 24th, 1941 :

No comments are required ... after having read the PoW Gunnery report, ... and in fact Capt Leach did change his initial version other 2 times ... on May 27th, ... and finally on June 4th, 1941 ...
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 )
I have lost count of how many times I have been told something you admit "Antonio reconstruction can have some defects and still needs corrections" is actually a proven fact and any further dispute is pointless, and demands to produce something better or shut up!
