Read his emails yet? You may say he isn't a holocaust denier, but you cannot deny that he's a racist and perhaps upset mentally. To hell with this man.

@mickomac

I disagree, and am certain he is not "upset mentally". I'm halfway through another of his books (Goebbels - Mastermind of the Third Reich), and there are some very complimentary reviews, on the back cover, from people far more knowledgeable than me (and probably you). E.g., "David Irving, a remarkable researcher, a brilliant discoverer of documents, and a skillful writer, tells the story well". - Hugh Trevor-Roper, in the Sunday Telegraph. I've run out of characters, otherwise I wo

Irving's position is that the Holocaust was 3 million instead of 6, and that it occurred in the Aktion Reinhardt camps, not at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Since he accepts a substantial part of the Holocaust story he is strictly speaking a revisionist and not a denier, since "denial" denotes wholesale rejection.

Note that Irving is always described by the press as a 'Holocaust denier'. Yet he is not saying anything of the sort here.

Europe is becoming a big Inquisited box where when you say something which is not liked by the living establishment you get thrown in jail, deprived of all your personal stuff and humiliated publicly by the first idiot of the day. To hell with this kind of establishment and who is so totally brainwashed at the point where he/she can't see where the liberty of speech starts and never ends. What kind of democracy we are living in? It is just a dictatorship of the better not knowing.

Hail comrade,

It is funny that my comrade Irving was giving a speech in favor of the free speech, and was interrupted to direct him not not get on with the line of thought he was on, and he complied.

Sieg Heil!

the WW2 holocaust claims are Godsent because they make it crystal clear to everyone just how mentally disturbed are the jews to have perpetrated such an abusive fraud in order to annex Palestine and get their revenge on the Germans for deporting nearly all of them from central europe during the seven years previous to WW2. America and England and the USSR co-sponsored the shameful holocaust lies because they needed to justify their sustained military occupation of Germany following the war.

[Loyalbrox]

I can't wait for his "Himmler" biography. I'm sure there'll be plenty of interesting facts that no has dared to publish yet but hopefully he will reference his sources to a larger extent than he did in his "Hitler" biography.

[rhubarbpies]

He continued: To demand laws that the received wisdom surrounding the Holocaust should forever be insulated from the process goes against every dictate of reason. Such laws are wrong in principle and are ineffective and possibly harmful in practice .

Kudos Leon!
