There is some quite convincing material on web.
Provenance would need to be verified.
eg comment by AFAIR actual Prime Minister of the day re the confusion
in timing which was promptly realised and the anxious wait to be sure
that we had not attacked Nazi Germany on our lonesome.

It's just our army historians who have it stated wrong. They will KNOW
the truth so it's unclear why they see fit to change the party line.
