Got around to reading.
Bollyn is very much, and certainly willfully, inconsistent with his standards. On one hand, he feigns ignorance of the reality of the holocaust because he has not personally seen the physical evidence like ovens and gas chambers. On the other hand, he claims to know that 600,000 people perished in the bombing of Dresden because he claims to have seen evidence in Dresden, and has talked to one eyewittness (a Waffen-SS officer). Of course it is impossible for him to have seen physical evidence to prove 600,000 victims, or any other nunber, when he visited Dresden in 2004, for such evidence did not exist any longer; nor could the Waffen-SS officer (Kuklane) have determined any credible number even if he truly was there in 1945.

Of course the actual number of Dresden deaths was no more than 25,000 - Bollyn is eager to believe false numbers if they suit his anti-semtitic, pro-Nazi taste, and equally eager to feign agnosticism on the true extent of the destruction of the Jews, when plenty of evidence can be known.

So yes, a closet HDer he is.
