Hello Antonio,
now that no one in this world can put anymore in discussion Admiral Tovey full and complete reliability while writing the letters to Stephen Roskill, ... also his statements about the " towing " message he received and what Adm Pound told him he was going to do by " expunging " the message from the records, ... has become more solid than ever before.
Hmmm newly deployed "stinky bait" trolled through the water just in front of my nose................... well I just can't resist it!
Please reserve this kind of unreasoned and frankly arrogant observation for your private thread to which no-one else is allowed to contribute, and therefore no-one else is interested in visiting. It can be "just for the record" there. You saying something is more solid does not make it more substantial. Just because you choose to believe in your Ziggurat of Supposition does not mean everybody else has to live in it.
There is no apparent evidence at all that Tovey ever received the message he actually claimed to have received, including a specific order to continue the pursuit to the Shores of France. That puts considerable doubt on his memory of the CMDS threat from the same telephone conversation and mentioned only in some of his letters which are primarily concerned with ROOF. That he told Roskill, McMullen, Brind, Pafford and nobody else this hotchpotch of imaginary occurrences does not make it true, merely frequently repeated.
Your co-author teases us with a new, as yet unmentioned, supposedly independent confirmation of the CMDS threat, but witholds it, so that it cannot be examined and if necessary, challenged. He also withholds Para 1 of the very letter in which the CMDS threat is best described, which must describe details of the ROOF signal. Possibly details which expose further the unreliability of Tovey's memory at the time.
However, since anybody who dares challenge your suppositions is immediately labelled a Troll, perhaps it is as well these items are kept secret.
Scrolling back to your post of last Tuesday:
Why Russell Grenfell was not aware about that message at 11:37 on 1948 for his book having spoken to almost everybody involved on the Bismarck operation
Are you really suggesting a real ROOF message sent late on the 26th, and has successfully been expunged from the records for reasons unclear and further that a new, spurious and non-transmitted 11:37B has been created and inserted into the record so as to retain the honour for the British Admiralty of sending "the Stupidest and most ill-conceived signal ever sent"?
Surely a record to be proud of
All the best
