Churchill’s No. 10 Dowing-street desk diary, November 1940. He bracketed together the three days after November 14, 1940, cancelling all appointments, having been (falsely) told to expect a three day Grand Slam attack on London. He did not intend to be there.
Website note: Churchill’s monthly desk calendars for the war years September 1939-1945 are available as a service to historians on CD Rom in pdf format for $50 from Focal Point Publications, 36 Hertford St, London W1J 7SE

Established in 1980 by David Irving and his Focus Group, FPP initially aimed to preserve British cultural heritage through the ‘Focal Point’ newsletter, reaching a dedicated circle of 500. By 1982, in response to increasing external pressures and challenges to free expression, FPP initiated an International Campaign for Real History. This effort, underscored by a series of global historical lectures, underscores our commitment to presenting ‘Real History’—unbiased and undiluted.
