By the end, Irving tells us that Hitler was not in good physical shape but yet kept a tenuous psychological grip on a type of reality. David Irving pieces together the Hitler paradigm with a remarkable clarity and it is a shame that he let his far-right political views edge out his outstanding literary and research skills. As a result, the man formerly known as ‘David Irving’ still peddles his wares through self-publishing, a hard to find website (linked above) and the ‘direct selling’ capacity the internet age offers! David Irving is not only being persecuted for his far-right views (as despicable as they might be) – but is also being punished for pointing-out certain ‘unsavoury’ facts about WWII that emerge from the objective consideration of Allied behaviour! I remember reading in a book about the Nuremburg Trials (NOT penned by David Irving) that an Allied legal expert thought that the remit of the ‘Trials’ should to expanded to consider alleged ‘Allied’ War Crimes – but this idea was considered too controversial and was ultimately ‘rejected’! I suspect David Irving got the Memo (he is too good of a researcher not to have done) but I doubt he had time to read it – hence the misunderstanding!
