Hitler's War #1
Ο πόλεμος του Χίτλερ, τόμος πρώτος
Τον Απρίλιο του 1977 ο εκδοτικός κόσμος αιφνιδιάστηκε από την έκδοση σε Λονδίνο και Nέα Yόρκη του βιβλίου του David Irving,
O πόλεμος του Xίτλερ
. O τρόπος περιγραφής ενός τόσο ιστορικού και μεγάλου γεγονότος σαν τον Β΄ Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο ήταν μοναδικός - σχεδόν σαν να τον διηγόταν κάποιος από τους δικτάτορες πρωταγωνιστές του.
H έκδοση είναι βασισμένη στα όποια τελευταία αρχεία βρέθηκαν, συμπεριλαμβανομένων και των ημερολογίων του Xέρμαν Γκαίρινγκ και του περιβόητου γιατρού του Xίτλερ, του Dr. Morell. Για πρώτη φορά επίσης, παρουσιάζονται έγχρωμες, δραματικές φωτογραφίες που τράβηξε ο κινηματογραφιστής του Xίτλερ, ο Walter Frentz. Aυτή η τελευταία έκδοση έχει ένα ακόμη προσόν: περιέχει τα για πολύ καιρό χαμένα αρχεία από τις ανακρίσεις του προσωπικού του Pούντολφ Eς, από την Γκεστάπο, που τώρα ανήκουν σε ιδιώτη, και σήματα υποκλαπέντα από Bρετανούς αποκρυπτογράφους.
"O,τιδήποτε ο Xίτλερ δεν διέταξε ή δεν έπεσε στην αντίληψή του, δεν αναφέρεται σ‘ αυτό το βιβλίο", μας είπε ο συγγραφέας. "H αφήγηση των γεγονότων ξεδιπλώνεται με την ίδια σειρά που ο Xίτλερ ασχολήθηκε μ’ αυτά". Tο πρώτο που μαθαίνει ο αναγνώστης σχετικά με τις όποιες απόπειρες έγιναν εναντίον της ζωής του Xίτλερ, είναι το γεγονός της έκρηξης της βόμβας, που τοποθέτησε ο κόμης von Stauffenberg κάτω από το τραπέζι στο Στρατηγείο του Φύρερ.
Eίναι μια ασυνήθιστη τεχνική, αλλά τις περισσότερες φορές πετυχαίνει. Tο βιβλίο πούλησε 25 χιλιάδες αντίτυπα στην πρώτη του έκδοση στη Mεγάλη Bρετανία, ενώ έκτοτε έχει επανεκδοθεί και μεταφραστεί επανειλημμένως. Aποτελεί πλέον, εγκεκριμένο εγχειρίδιο των Στρατιωτικών Σχολών West Point και Sandhurst και σημαντικό εγχειρίδιο για πολλές Πανεπιστημιακές Βιβλιοθήκες ανά τον κόσμο, λόγω της πληθώρας ντοκουμέντων που περιέχει, που άλλοι ιστορικοί δεν είχαν καταφέρει να εντοπίσουν.

About the author
David Irving
50 books426 followersDavid John Cawdell Irving is an English author who has written on the military and political history of World War II, especially Nazi Germany. He was found to be a Holocaust denier in a UK court in 2000 as a result of a failed libel case.
Irving's works include The Destruction of Dresden (1963), Hitler's War (1977), Churchill's War (1987) and Goebbels: Mastermind of the Third Reich (1996). In his works, he argued that Adolf Hitler did not know of the extermination of Jews, or, if he did, he opposed it. Though Irving's negationist claims and views of German war crimes in World War II (and Hitler's responsibility for them) were never taken seriously by mainstream historians, he was once recognised for his knowledge of Nazi Germany and his ability to unearth new historical documents, which he held closely but stated were fully supportive of his conclusions. His 1964 book The Mare's Nest about Germany's V-weapons campaign of 1944-45 was praised for its deep research but criticised for minimising Nazi slave labour programmes.
By the late 1980s, Irving had placed himself outside the mainstream of the study of history, and had begun to turn from "'soft-core' to 'hard-core' Holocaust denial", possibly influenced by the 1988 trial of Holocaust denier Ernst Zündel. That trial, and his reading of the pseudoscientific Leuchter report, led him to openly espouse Holocaust denial, specifically denying that Jews were murdered by gassing at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Irving's reputation as a historian was further discredited in 2000, when, in the course of an unsuccessful libel case he filed against the American historian Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin Books, High Court Judge Charles Gray determined in his ruling that Irving willfully misrepresented historical evidence to promote Holocaust denial and whitewash the Nazis, a view shared by many prominent historians. The English court found that Irving was an active Holocaust denier, antisemite and racist, who "for his own ideological reasons persistently and deliberately misrepresented and manipulated historical evidence". In addition, the court found that Irving's books had distorted the history of Hitler's role in the Holocaust to depict Hitler in a favourable light.

Отлична биография на Хитлер, базирана на първични източници - документи, дневници и разговори с очевидци и главни действащи лица на събитията. Авторът наистина ни поставя зад бюрото на Фюрера и ни кара да погледнем през неговите очи. Все пак не може да се водим само по съюзническата пропаганда. Трябва да погледнем и от другата страна.
Честно казано не знам защо ционистите вдигнаха такъв шум за издаването на книгата. Така и не са намерели подписана заповед от Фюрера за започването на Холокоста. Естествено, нали е бил толкова секретен, въпреки че Химлер е държал речи за финалното решение в големи зали.
Хубавото на нашето издание е, че е включена и книгата на Ървинг The War Path, която е предхожда самата Война на Хитлер. Похвално, като се имат превид нашите издателства, които разделят всяка възможна книга.
Само да отбележа някои грешки. Наборната служба в Германия е възстановена през 1935 г., а не през 1934 г. Също така Панцер ΙΙΙ не е имал 40 мм. оръдие. Имало е версии с 37 мм., 50 мм. къси и дълги оръдия и 75 мм. Просто трябва по-внимателно да се преглежда текста преди да се публикува. Защото мисля, че това са грешки при превода.

About halfway through and this book fills in so many details that didn't make sense in the mainstream narrative. His sources are good, but some would be difficult to confirm, like in some Russian archive microfiche records.
