Comment: Hitler, in my view, was undoubtedly a psychopath and a vessel for some dark forces. The Nazis similarly were a classic expression of ponerological evil. However, the Wartime AngloZionist allies committed their own atrocities and misled the public about the root causes of the war and the subsequent destruction of Germany and the German people. Although the Jewish holocaust certainly took place a lot of Jewish mythology has grown up around it (as it often does in Jewish history) and separating fact from established fiction remains challenging and most definitely taboo. Which means there is much more to this period of history than we are being told. To that end I suggest readers watch the documentary: Hellstorm (2015) to start with...

I’m very pleased to announce that our selection of HTML Books now contains works by renowned World War II historian David Irving, including his magisterial Hitler’s War, named by famed military historian Sir John Keegan as one of the most crucial volumes for properly understanding that conflict.
With
many millions of his books in print, including a string of best-sellers
translated into numerous languages, it’s quite possible that the
eighty-year-old Irving today ranks as the most
internationally-successful British historian of the last one hundred
years. Although I myself have merely read a couple of his shorter
works, I found these absolutely outstanding, with Irving regularly
deploying his remarkable command of the primary source documentary
evidence to totally demolish my naive History 101 understanding of major
historical events. It would hardly surprise me if the huge corpus of
his writings eventually constitutes a central pillar upon which future
historians seek to comprehend the catastrophically bloody middle years
of our hugely destructive twentieth century even after most of our other
chroniclers of that era are long forgotten.
Carefully reading a thousand-page reconstruction of the German side of the Second World War is obviously a daunting undertaking, and his remaining thirty-odd books would probably add at least another 10,000 pages to that Herculean task. But fortunately, Irving is also a riveting speaker, and several of his extended lectures of recent decades are conveniently available on YouTube, as given below. These effectively present many of his most remarkable revelations concerning the wartime policies of both Winston Churchill and Adolf Hitler, as well as sometimes recounting the challenging personal situation he himself faced. Watching these lectures may consume several hours, but that is still a trivial investment compared to the many weeks it would take to digest the underlying books themselves.

In response to Ron Unz’s “The Remarkable Historiography of David Irving”,
this note will pick up on and elucidate the reader-comment to that from
James N. Kennett, which stated: “It seemed to me that the problem with
his work was not the possible inaccuracy of the details that he included
– but the things he had left out. Anyone can tell a good story by
leaving out the evidence that does not fit.
Irving also coined the
phrase ‘the Auschwitz Survivors, Survivors of the Holocaust, and Other Liars—A.S.S.H.O.L.E.S.’
You don’t have to be a supporter of the Holocaust Industry to realise
that this is crass insensitivity, and an ahistorical insult to those who
did survive. Far from indicating a historian of unique genius, it is
the product of a perverted mind.” (I have added the link there in
Kennett’s comment — it wasn’t provided by him — a link to an apt comment
that had been posted at “Good Reads” about David Irving’s statement
there against those survivors.)
My 2000 book WHY the Holocaust Happened (the
publisher subsequently went out of business, and so it’s no longer
available) discusses both the history and the historiography of the
Holocaust; and, while the writings of David Irving are not mentioned
there (but more ‘respectable’ proponents of his ‘weak dictator’
interpretation of Hitler were), it presented, regarding Mr. Irving, lots
of (as Kennett has put it), “the things he had left out,” and that I
think invalidate Irving’s works, because the motivation behind those
omissions is clear and is not considered acceptable by most historians.
Here are some of those omissions — things left out altogether, or else
unjustifiably denigrated, by Irving — (with page-references to where the
given excerpts appear in my book):
