The main evidence of Liddell Hart's deceit and " tendentious " report of history can be found in his letters to the German Generals Erich von Manstein and Heinz Guderian, as well as relatives and associates of Erwin Rommel.

Historian Kenneth Macksey found Liddell Hart's original letters to Guderian, in the General's papers, requesting that Guderian give him credit for " impressing him " with his ideas of armoured warfare.

When Liddell Hart was questioned about this in 1968, and the discrepancy between the English and German editions of Guderian's memoirs, " he gave a conveniently unhelpful though strictly truthful reply.

Both Fuller and Liddell Hart were " outsiders ": Liddell Hart was unable to serve as an active soldier because of ill-health, and Fuller's abrasive personality resulted in his premature retirement in 1933.
