Robert,
So you're quick to jump on my book, but quite quite willing to buy a copy of HITLER'S LAST SECRET, which is loaded with sexy plotlines and made-for-television historical distortions--such as the notion that this was some sort of last-ditch doomsday mission rather than part of a longstanding and well-documented technology and personnel transfer between German and Japan, and such as the conveniently dramatic plot twist that ULTRA intercepts diverted Venturer toward U-864's track, when perusal of those very intercepts, some of which are available on the internet, shows they were not decrypted for weeks after U-864 was sunk.
This is the same kneejerk attitude that made communication with you impossible years ago. Read the book and then decide. I'm available to discuss any questions you may have.
