Okay, so you are your own source. The Hood article by Jurens shows links to official documents and much source material. You so far have shown links to nothing. You said your books were buried; I believe you and said we could table the discussion until you had access to them. Rather than accept that, you respond that you are your own source.

Repeatedly you resort to belittling what you can't prove wrong, and then you belittle the people arguing with you, and when they object, you tell them "lighten up". All I'm asking you to do is point me to any shred of evidence, and so far you haven't been able to do that. I've even said I was open to believing you, but you still show nothing but arrogance and insults.

I think it's fascinating that you were able to interview someone who had inside information on Graf Spee, and I would love to read your article. That doesn't change the fact that you have shown lots of opinion, and attitude, where Hood is concerned, but not much else. You say you are a published writer, but that doesn't prove it to us. You and I don't know each other from Adam. Just because you and other writers laugh at those who trust an acknowledged expert in the field doesn't help any of us. He's done the research. You say you know better but show nothing. Who exactly should we trust?
