urqh is on a distinguished road
I believe Dorman Smith one of the players if you like at that time, actually got a retraction from Churchil, before he completed his Hinge of Fate volume of the 6 ww2 classic histories, of Churchills version of events.
Dorman Smith was a fascinating man in his own right and big supporter of the Auk. His later history regarding the Irish troubles is indicitive of an old soldier who wont lay down.
As fir Auk, my own opinion and purely personal maybe not factual, is that he spent too much of his time at HQ doing his job, maybe thats not the wrong thing, but in an era of media generals, he would never be a match for the likes of Alex or Monty etc.
