If you have not read the testimony of Louie Steven Witt to the HSCA, you really should. He was the man who claimed to be Umbrella Man, and his testimony is NOT credible. Are you aware that he claimed to not know what happened? That he didn't know that the President was shot until he returned to work and found out? Yes, that's what he said. He also claimed not to know Dark Complected Man- at all. Even though they were sitting together snugly on the sidewalk, much closer together than strangers would ever sit, he said he didn't know him.
And his whole story about going there with an umbrella to heckle Kennedy over his father's attempt to prevent WW2 is not credible. His expectation that Kennedy would see the umbrella and from seeing it realize that he was mocking Neville Chamberlain, and ipso facto, his father, is not credible. It was 1963. WW2 was long over, and the world had changed. Germany was no longer our enemy, and our former ally, the Soviet Union, was our enemy. The context of what was occurring that day was so far afield from 1939 that it's insane to think that JFK would see an umbrella and "connect the dots" to Munich, Germany, Neville Chamberlain and his own father.
I wish I had read this long ago. I always believed the guy was a fraud, but now, I've got alarm bells going off in my head about him and the whole proceeding, including the involvement of Gerald Ford.
