Who's Grace? There will be no concession from the "Ministry of War Oxford
Group" group even if I'm it. After reading "The Rise and Fall of the Third
Reich" I now know that Hitler made his first aggressive moves towards
Austria in 1936. It's entirely possible that the British started moving
towards a war economy in that year and that TA's were only made with the
permission of the Ministry of War.
As the character played by Henry Fonda in "Sometimes a Great Notion" by Ken
Kesey said, "Never give a inch." (sic)
