Did the Communists really betray his travel plans to the Germans which lead to his death? |

No, his ship hit a mine, how could "the Communists" have such precise information? Possibly they might know an itinerary but it would be impossible for anyone to have such precise information. |

Why in heaven's name would the Germans want him dead? He wasn't exactly a strategic genius. |

I should think Asquith's government would be a better bet – and I don't think they did it. |

"Hitting a mine" kind of blows a hole in conspiracy theories.

A quote from FT.com Yet when the Kitchener files in the National Archives were reviewed in 1973 and 1981, two were still judged unsuitable for publication and sealed until the end of 2015 and the end of 2025. If there was a conspiracy, it was remarkably long-lived. Has the the 2015 file been opened? |

"blows a hole in conspiracy theories"…… unfortunate choice of phrase. |

"Unfortunate"?
Nope. I chose it carefully. |

Wait… Lord Kitchener is dead? Why does no one tell me these things?? |
