Anyway, where is original of his "report"?
Was it de-classified? Most probably it get highest "Top Secret" stamp than it was forgotten. If we discuss real thing we should see it...

All I have is the source that I linked to above which states in part:
Quote:
The repercussions of what appeared to be a serious security breach that could have had fatal consequences had the Germans learnt of the contents of the report are revealed in the files released by the National Archives.
Churchill had to be told. So was General Dwight Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force. MI5 was brought in to try to find out who might have revealed the secrets of Operation Overlord to Liddell Hart.
The investigation came as a surprise to Christopher Andrew, the Cambridge University professor who is the official historian of MI5.
He said: “The most important Allied secret was where the D-Day landings were going to take place. Liddell Hart produced a paper that identified the beaches. I had not the slightest inkling this file existed.”

Evidently this is from files in the British National Archives recently made public.
The document itself (KV 2/2411) is referenced at
this page but evidently is not available online at this time.
