Ahhh....selective use of sources.....great fun when you have the original book to hand, which I do ( Liddell Hart,
The Other Side Of The Hill, revised and enlarged, Cassell, London 1951 ).
Perhaps it may also be helpful to this discussion to use the direct quote from von Rundstedt on p.383 : -
' I was surprised that you did not attempt an invasion in 1941....but at that time I was on the Eastern Front and out of touch with the situation in the West. When I came there, and knew the situation better, I did not expect an early invasion,
for I realized that your resources were insufficient....I expected an invasion in 1943...'
As I said, selective use of sources to support a hobby-horse ( David Irvingski ?
)
