David Irving - Hitler----s War-la Guerra De Hitler -castellano-.pdf Link Info
David Irving’s Hitler’s War La guerra de Hitler ) is a controversial 1977 work that attempted to chronicle WWII exclusively through the eyes of Adolf Hitler, relying on diaries and personal accounts. While initially praised for its archival focus, the book is widely rejected by historians for its flawed thesis that Hitler was unaware of the Holocaust, a conclusion deemed a distortion of evidence following the 2000 Irving v. Penguin Books and Lipstadt libel trial.
- The “Hitler Didn’t Know” Thesis – Irving claims Hitler never issued a general order for the “Final Solution.” However, documents like Himmler’s notes from meetings with Hitler, the Einsatzgruppen reports (which Hitler received daily), and testimony from Nazi leaders (Eichmann, Speer, Kershaw’s research) prove otherwise. Hitler approved and guided the genocide from 1941 onward.
- Denial of Gas Chambers – Irving has stated in interviews that “Auschwitz was a labor camp, and the gas chambers were built after the war for propaganda.” In Hitler’s War, he downplays or dismisses survivor testimony, diary evidence (Anne Frank, etc.), and Soviet, Polish, and Western forensic investigations.
- Misquoting Documents – The libel trial revealed that Irving deliberately mis-translated German documents to remove anti-Hitler context or to make orders appear less incriminating.
