So whats the deal with Irving? Guy is a WW2 historian of incomparable quality, then goes on to deny the holocaust in court, with the judge essentially agreeing with everything he said but ultimately dismissing the case for holocaust denial. Is he just a guy who fell in love with the people he was studying or something more?

>My assessment is that, as a military historian, Irving has much to commend him. For his works of military history Irving has undertaken thorough and painstaking research into the archives. He has discovered and disclosed to historians and others many documents which, but for his efforts, might have remained unnoticed for years. It was plain from the way in which he conducted his case and dealt with a sustained and penetrating cross-examination that his knowledge of World War 2 is unparalleled. His mastery of the detail of the historical documents is remarkable. He is beyond question able and intelligent. He was invariably quick to spot the significance of documents which he had not previously seen. Moreover he writes his military history in a clear and vivid style. I accept the favourable assessment by Professor Watt and Sir John Keegan of the calibre of Irving's military history (mentioned in paragraph 3.4 above) and reject as too sweeping the negative assessment of Evans (quoted in paragraph 3.5).

>Even so, it appears to me to be incontrovertible that Irving qualifies as a Holocaust denier. Not only has he denied the existence of gas chambers at Auschwitz and asserted that no Jew was gassed there, he has done so on frequent occasions and sometimes in the most offensive terms. By way of examples, I cite his story of the Jew climbing into a mobile telephone box-cum-gas chamber; his claim that more people died in the back of Kennedy's car at Chappaquiddick than died in the gas chambers at Auschwitz; his dismissal of the eye-witnesses en masse as liars or as suffering from a mental problem; his reference to an Association of Auschwitz Survivors and Other Liars or "ASSHOLS" and the question he asked of Mrs Altman how much money she had made from her tattoo. I reject as being untrue the claim made by Irving in his evidence that in his denial of the existence of any gas chambers at Auschwitz, he was referring solely to the gas chamber constructed by the Poles after the war for the benefit of visitors to the site or, as Irving put it, as a "tourist attraction". In this connection I refer to paragraph 9.13 above. Even if Irving had referred to gas chamber in the singular, it would not have been apparent that he was speaking of the reconstructed gas chamber at the camp.

In the third post, he acknowledges the lack of documentary evidence. Before that, he basically says that Irving qualifies as a holocaust denier not because he denies it, but because he was offensive and trivial in his manner of denying the existence of operable gas chambers at aushwitz.

No, Irving was an obvious Germanophile and that's what got him to write his books. He didn't just "fall in love" with Germans, he wanted to present them as victims before going into writing on Dresden and such. Everything he wrote before going full nuts defending Zundel in the 80s was just lose with numbers and leaving certain things unstated but not outside the conservative mainstream

He grew up in England during the war then later went to Germany as a manual labourer and experienced the people and country for himself. These experiences heavily clashed with what he had been raised to belief in England which set the path for later controversies. After initial success and mainstream recognition the cultural change that turned the Holocaust into the focal point of WW2 as the post war religion started to form. As a result the establishment could not tolerate someone like Irving anymore and aimed to destroy him. In return he became more and more hostile and also extreme in his views. In a way he thus became an ideologue himself with all that entails.

There's really no way you can actually study the Holocaust and not come away as a "Holocaust Denier". In Academia, there's a reason there are no "Holocaust Scholars", but rather scholars of a specific aspect of the Holocaust charged with defending a very specific aspect of a narrative. The Six Million number itself is patently chosen for political propaganda (remember, the Five Million gentiles was chosen by various Jewish organizations precisely to give Gentiles a reason to care, but not to overshadow the moral crimes against the Jews), every "death camp" either turned out not to be a death camp at all or to have been reconstructed by the USSR for the explicit purpose of justifying East German occupation, the numbers don't add up, and on and on and on.

More to the point, one can't actually study the Holocaust without being a Denier because the very act of gathering information on the Holocaust is Denial. The Holocaust is a specific mythological narrative meant to justify certain moral ends. The Holocaust HAD to happen so that political uniforms could be illegal in France; the Holocaust HAD to happen to justify the genocide of the Irish people; the Holocaust HAD to happen to justify the Federal Reserve, and so on and so forth. Anything but unwavering loyalty to the narrative is Denial by virtue of not being unwavering loyalty and acceptance. You either accept a myth, or you don't. Casting doubt on a myth is not a historiographical act, but a moral one. To say "okay, maybe it wasn't six million, but five million" decreases the moral legitimacy of the ends that the Holocaust Myth exists to justify.

It's why you're a Holocaust Denier if you fit into the (rare) niche of individual who believes that the Holocaust happened exactly according to the narrative, holocosters, masturbation machines, anvil-drops and all, but that it still doesn't justify the aims of Jewish Finance. You aren't denying the Holocaust as a historical event, but rather the moral legitimacy of certain aims. That is the real offense: denying the morality of the Post-WWII Liberal (Jewish) Political Order.

And that is why Irving was punished.

Irving was not put on trial for "holocaust denial" though. He brought a libel case himself against Penguin Books because another author used that label for him, after he failed to get her books pulped by the publisher.

Irving went on to say, five years later:
>"I've changed my views. I spoke then about Auschwitz and gas chambers based on my knowledge at the time, but by 1991 when I came across the Eichmann papers, I wasn't saying that any more and I wouldn't say that now. The Nazis did murder millions of Jews. ..I made a mistake by saying there were no gas chambers, I am absolutely without doubt that the Holocaust took place. I apologise to those few I might have offended though I remain very proud of the 30 books I have written."

This sort of thing is just to be expected. He put his name out criticizing the state religion, and its most fervent adherents punished him for it when given the opportunity.

More broadly, it's just the lead up to the sort of Anarcho-Tyranny we see today, wherein the State declares certain people or things excommunicated and thus allows violence to be freely enacted against them. That's literally the point of Antifa. Focusing on the people who, when allowed to by the state, enacted violence against a stranger for no reason but their own sadism, rather than the state that allowed this, is silly. If someone chucks an angry badger into your home, getting angry at the badger is pointless, it, like Antifa, is just a dumb animal with no higher political or spiritual capacity. It's just lashing out.

The person who chucked the badger into your home, however, certainly has some kind of higher capacity, and discussing what he's on about is more interesting.

I can't help thinking that a lot of the responses ITT are the inversion of the same - that because aspects of something are mythologized each criticism of it must automatically be valid on a technical level. The great suffering becomes the great lie and remains beyond the reach of nuance. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that mass violence being inflicted by the state or its proxies is tyrannical in both cases.

>> No.17704000

>>17703858
>The great suffering becomes the great lie and remains beyond the reach of nuance.
the rightful place of nuance lies beyond the standard dialectic of material truth - the whole reason anybody cares about the "nuance" of the subject itself is because they must think it's important, whether it happened or not or how. but the real truth is that the fact that any meaning is invested in this event at all is also "beyond the reach of nuance" - you have to actually give a shit about muh six billion before you desire nuance in understanding the event itself, and if you don't, then none is necessary. rejecting the moral system that makes the holocaust such a big deal in the first place means also obviating the need for understanding it in material terms at all (something which most holocaust deniers sadly do not yet understand, which leads to pointless exercises about prussian blue or muh limited number of ovens)
in the end, my holocaust denial transcends material truth: it did not happen, even if it did. no matter how many jews died, by what means and for what reasons, the holocaust never happened, it did not happen, and no matter how many jews die in the future, it still will not happen. they can or could have literally shoveled jews into massive purpose-built ovens by the trainful, and it still will never have happened. they could execute the last jew by firing square after making him dig his own grave, and what has transpired would still not qualify as a holocaust
i don't care about jews or what happens to them, i just don't give a shit

I'm not sure that's quite so in that there's room for separation of statistics from the lived experience and suffering of the individual (who was not always Jewish). Of course you, personally, don't have to be invested in that either but I don't think it has to presuppose a great interest in the event as a symbol. It's possible to take the stance that such suffering is always of interest on its own terms regardless of the supposed historical significance (or lack of) of events that frame it, which also obviates the need for material scale.

I'm just saying that's the take by people like deborah lipstadt. The Nuremberg trial is mostly about establishing guilt for plotting a war of aggression instead of presenting a case for genocide against the Jewish race. It took a couple decades to begin to revise the record and extend blame further to anti-Semites within the US state department or FDR failing to nuke Auschwitz etc, etc so everyone is really guilty to some degree. After the six day war there was a movement to change the way WWII was taught in the west so students would understand it was all about Hitlers hatred of Jews so they could understand Israel has a right to defend itself today against a revival of anti-Semitism, but that never happened in the USSR where textbooks kept talking about politico-military affairs instead of warning about the eternal threat of anti-semitism

Who cares. When religions get started people swear up and down they saw crazy things.

You guys are thinking of the Holocaust in a vacuum. As Arthur Butz is fond of saying, there was a war going on during WWII. All kinds of observable things would have followed the alleged extermination, like the reallotment of rail capacity to move all the Jews.

I don't know if this is dishonestly or just ignorance but that statement couldn't be farther from the truth, if the judge agreed with everything he said, Irving wouldn't have lost the case.

>Historians are human: they make mistakes, misread and misconstrue documents and overlook material evidence. I have found that, in numerous respects, Irving has misstated historical evidence; adopted positions which run counter to the weight of the evidence; given credence to unreliable evidence and disregarded or dismissed credible evidence. It appears to me that an analysis of those instances may shed light on the question whether Irving's misrepresentation of the historical evidence was deliberate.

> I have found that most of the Defendants' historiographical criticisms of Irving set out in section V of this judgement are justified. In the vast majority of those instances the effect of what Irving has written has been to portray Hitler in a favourable light and to divert blame from him onto others. I have held that this is unjustified by the evidence. Examples include Irving's portrayal of Hitler's conduct and attitude towards the events of Kristallnacht and the importance attached by Irving to Hitler's attitude towards the Jewish question as he claims is evidenced by the Schlegelberger note. I have seen no instance where Irving has misinterpreted the evidence or misstated the facts in a manner which is detrimental to Hitler. Irving appears to take every opportunity to exculpate Hitler

>>17706267
>The same is true of the broader criticism made by the Defendants' of Irving's unwarrantedly favourable depiction of Hitler in regard to his attitude towards the Jews, which criticism I have found in section VI above to be justified. Irving sought in his writings to distance Hitler from the programme of shooting Jews in the East and from the later genocide in the death camps in a manner which the evidence did not warrant. Irving has argued, unjustifiably as I have found, that the evidence indicates that Hitler was unaware of any programme for the extermination of Jews at Auschwitz. In his account of the bombing of Dresden Irving (as I have found in section X1 above) persistently exaggerates the number of casualties, so enabling him to make comparisons between the number of civilians killed in Allied bombing raids with the number of Jews killed in the camps.

>In my opinion there is force in the opinion expressed by Evans that all Irving's historiographical "errors" converge, in the sense that they all tend to exonerate Hitler and to reflect Irving's partisanship for the Nazi leader. If indeed they were genuine errors or mistakes, one would not expect to find this consistency. I accept the Defendants' contention that this convergence is a cogent reason for supposing that the evidence has been deliberately slanted by Irving.

the entire reason why the holocaust is significant at all is the principle that suffering is always of interest on its own terms - it is the pinnacle of both human suffering, and suffering caused by humans, who were acting in direct opposition to that principle. what avenue for nuance is there, except from the standpoint of either accepting or rejecting this principle?
>That's an interesting take on it but I'm struggling to reconcile your disinterest with your elevation of it to a transcendental belief.
there's no such thing as disinterest in the holocaust - it is already a transcendental belief, therefore its negation must also be. if the holocaust did not happen, then in the space it occupies must have happened the anti-holocaust, which is just the normal holocaust but with "and that's a good thing, or at least their heart was in the right place gawd bless 'em" appended to the end. you can't simply not care - it looms so large over us that to not address it means you must be content with living in its shadow

Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any transcripts of that trial available as there are for the English one. There's also Irving's prison memoir, "Banged Up", where he refers to it:
>He asked me to set out the process by which I had updated my views on Auschwitz, since 1989. I began by saying that it would take three or four minutes, and explained the first two stages—securing the Adolf Eichmann papers while visiting Buenos Aires in 1991, and finding Hans Aumeier’s manuscripts (he was deputy commandant of Auschwitz) the year after that. After thirty seconds, Liebetreu wearily interrupted and that was that.

>wanting to expand eastwards =/= wanting to murder and enslave millions of slavs
And yet large numbers of Slavs were murdered. 100,000 in Intelligenzaktion alone. Priests, university professors, artists, doctors, etc, were executed en mass but this, I take it, went unnoticed because Reynhard Heidrich distributed free shoes.

Anti-polfags will always ignore this. They are programmed to deny reality if it conflicts with their narrative. A jewish rabbi could walk right up to them and punch them in the face and anti-polfags would blame it on white supremacist neo-nazis.

I am sick and tired of spineless neocons and classical liberals who don't care about the white race and only care about preserving democracy, individualism, and free market talmudism.
I will state this as directly as I can. Fuck Jews. Fuck leftists. Fuck neoliberals. Fuck classical liberals. Fuck Marxists. Fuck sexual perverts. Fuck controlled opposition whores like Jordan Peterson. Fuck """conservatives""" who never conserve a damn thing except Israel. Fuck anti-whites.

Not so much if you put in the context of being parallel with evacuation.

It's not like it's just an interpretation of them happening to burn a few documents. All of the relevant orders of how that was to be carried out explicitly still exist in the Bundesarchiv, as well as being attested to by those present in Berlin.

In secondary memoranda which survive and refer to parts of that plan. Then there's the Sonderfahndungsbuch Polen. Or the literal mass graves.

Commies in Weimar Germany were rabidly militant and repeatedly tried to carry out a revolution. Political violence was simply the norm and it has been distorted to seem like a specifically Nazi thing.
