That presented a problem in the form of Colonel David Strangeways, head of Montgomery's R Force deception staff.

Dissatisfied with the Fortitude South outline, he, in the words of Harmer, set out to ride "roughshod over the established deception organization".

But, unlike Washington or Thomas Jefferson, for example, Butler never acknowledged the fundamental inconsistency in simultaneously defending the rights of the poor and supporting slavery. Associates referred to Butler as "eccentric" and an "enigma." He followed his own path to produce the maximum of liberty and respect for those individuals whom he classed as citizens. He wanted to maintain a strong central government, but a government that could never ride roughshod over the rights of the private citizen.

Hitler too disdained Christianity.Alan Bullock; Hitler, a Study in Tyranny; HarperPerennial Edition 1991; p218 According to Kershaw, the German church leadership expended considerable energies in opposing government interference in the church and "attempts to ride roughshod over Christian doctrine and values".

According to Kershaw, the German church leadership expended considerable energies in opposing government interference in the churches and "attempts to ride roughshod over Christian doctrine and values", but this vigour, was not matched against all areas of "Nazi barbarism". Thus for example, what protests the bishops did make regarding anti-Jewish policies, tended to be by way of private letters to government ministers. Kershaw wrote that, while the "detestation of Nazism was overwhelming within the Catholic Church", it did not preclude church leaders approving of areas of the regime's policies, particularly where Nazism "blended into 'mainstream' national aspirations" – like support for "patriotic" foreign policy or war aims, obedience to state authority (where this did not contravene divine law); and destruction of atheistic Marxism and Soviet Bolshevism. Traditional Christian anti-Judaism was "no bulwark" against Nazi biological antisemitism, wrote Kershaw, and on these issues "the churches as institutions felt on uncertain grounds".

Who would have thought the Benalla Auto Club could take on (and win) the battle against CAMS on matters as important as track licensing, competitor licensing and insurance, areas where CAMS once held a monopoly? Almost since the time that Mick Ronke joined the committee of the Benalla Auto Club not long after its inception, the club began having not just differences of opinion but heated disputes with CAMS over a number of recurring matters, not the least of which was the increasing cost of a track licence, and the manner in which CAMS was perceived to ‘ride roughshod’ over the club. This was frustrating enough in the early days when the club was little more than the promoter of a small country race track, but as Benalla Auto Club became a thriving business enterprise that was generating considerable turnover, it seemed to be viewed by some at CAMS as a ‘cash cow’.
