Can you link me to holocaust deniers: Carlo Mattogno, Jurgen Graf or Thomas Kues formal rebuttal of Dr Colls forensic report into Treblinka II extermination camp?
Colls, C. :Finding Treblinka. Archaeological Investigations at Treblinka Extermination and Labour Camps, (2014) in English and Polish. |

Doesn't stop so-called Revisionists from dusting off old crap and refuted nonsense. And the British Psychological Warfare Executive files do not help the Revisionist case. Unless the Revisionists resort to their usual tactics of lying, fabrication and distortion.

I was referring to Kues' essay:
https://codoh.com/library/document/c...y-caroline/en/ and MGK's: http://holocausthandbooks.com/index.php?page_id=8 See pages 926,1051-1064, which discusses the coloured map). There is an "Editor's Addendum" (dated 2020) in: http://holocausthandbooks.com/index.php?page_id=8 at page 323. |

They contain information about the propagation of the gas chamber stories as rumours. As they are still being gone through, are you not simply guessing?
So you can't back up what you say with references. French revisionists generally do not support "free speech" in the sense of a supposed right to assert what can be shown in a court of law to be untrue. Faurisson replied to his academic and other critics (Pierre Vidal-Naquet, Jean-Claude Pressac) in concise little books, which it is illegal to advertise or distribute commercially in France, so many people don't know they exist. I think that there has been some change on this in the last few years in the direction of religious faith. The principal concern for many was to defend Germany's record from anti-German rhetoric. But there has been a move towards Catholicism on the part of some on the right (not revisionists specifically) because of the influence of E. Michael Jones. The revisionist analysis has generally seen British, American and Soviet propaganda as the source or main validator of atrocity stories. It is said that the American OSS funded Eugen Kogon's book Der SS Staat, for example. However, the stories still play a part in some Jewish identity literature and activism. |

Not one rebuttal point raised by Kues.
Not one rebuttal pint raised on any of these pages. They are actually just holocaust denial handbooks and the first one doesn't mention Coll's forensic investigation at all. Why do you and your neo nazi, holocaust denier buddies lie so much? ![]() |

No I am not. Of course when so-called Revisionists look at the material we will see the usual huge mass of omission, distortion, fabrication and out and out lying.

David Irving's New Biography of Himmler
I'd like to open a discussion of David Irving's new biography of Heinrich Himmler, True Himmler (Focal Point, 2021). There doesn't seem much point putting in a substitute team performance on revisionist literature, which we can all read first hand if we want, though I can share information if that's what's wanted.
The book is in two volumes and only the first has appeared so far. Volume One only goes up to 1939. It still seems to me relevant to the question of motivation, even from an intentionalist or functionalist standpoint, given the key role the SS is supposed to have played (and did play) in persecution of the Jews through the concentration camp system and Aktion Reinhardt. In the first chapter, Irving rehearses his theory that Himmler was killed by British officers perhaps acting on secret orders.This tends to support the idea that there were attempts to manipulate politics by the allies, in this case the British, through control of information and activities that would be considered illegal in a non-military context. This (alleged) involvement in criminality would be necessary to keep such activities secret. In the second chapter, he describes Himmler's early life and the provenance of various diaries he has used. He presents Himmler's family and Himmler himself as active Catholic Christians. He makes the point that Himmler's reputation suffered after the end of the war when the SS were blamed for the concentration camp system and declared a criminal organisation. Hence there is a marked difference in tone between post-war denunciations and earlier testimony about Himmler's personality, integrity and so on. Himmler described himself as basically a "policeman" and thought his reputation was one he shared with members of that profession. Irving points out that he died at a fairly young age (44). |

Why are we expected to take seriously anything from someone as thoroughly discredited as Irving?

EtienneSC is simply trying to press the reset button. Although I find him using Irving to be hilarious. The guy has been thoroughly discredited and virtually no one takes him seriously has an academic anymore. Along with Richard Evans' vicious putdown, https://phdn.org/negation/irving/EvansReport.pdf, in his huge analysis for the lipstadt, Irving libel trial. (There is also Evans book Lying about Hitler.) Where Irving sought to curtail Lipstadt's freedom of speech and lost!
But for fun see John Lukas' The Hitler of History, Vintage Books, New York, 1997. On pages 26-29 & 229-232. At p. 229-230 Lukas says:

If this book is like any of Irving's other books, it'll be a demonstrable tissue of lies. I look forwards to your attempts at defending it. |

Why are you using anything by Irving for anything other than toilet paper?
The man is proven liar and racist who has been shown to have a less than honest approach to evaluating evidence. On nearly everything interaction he has had with a professional historian he has had his ass handed to him. The only people who consider him to be credible are cranks, racists and nazis. |

I'm sorry that chapter by chapter summaries are not allowed on this thread. My summaries have been moved to a separate thread. I'd be happy to continue on that other thread, but it's marked as "closed".
On the renunciation of Catholicism point, this may be related to the requirement for the SS to renounce denominations, but with the option to remain "gottglaubig". There is another related point that I could make as part of the summary. i.e. Himmler's summary of Hitler's religious views (on page 365). |

All you have to do is sum up David Irving's attempt to white-wash Himmler while denying the man's singular achievement.
What I want to know is how someone can be pro-Nazi while claiming they failed their quest to create a Jew-Free Germany? |

<spoonfeed mode>
At the top of your screen, the first menu item is "Forum Index". Click that. In the first sub-menu, there is an item also called "Forum Index". Click that. Scroll down that page until you find a section called "Members Only". You will find an item called Abandon All Hope. (Second last item in that section) There you will see posts which have been removed for rule violations. Note that the first post is stickied and explains why any posts are there. </spoonfeed mode> 8 frakkin' years and you need the basics explained to you. Sheesh. |

There's hardly a need, as the text is now available as a free download:
http://www.fpp.co.uk/books/Himmler/TRUE-HIMMLER-pt1.pdf As you can see, rather than try to "white-wash" Himmler, he endorses much of the standard view of the Holocaust, including Aktion Reinhard and systematic shootings in the east. What he doesn't do is provide his evidence, but we are led to believe that that will be forthcoming in the second volume, yet to appear. He also believes in the deportations of German Jews (as does everyone else). What is distinctive about the first volume is that it moves away from the "Hollywood nazi" stereotypes about Germany in the 1930s, which the SS are at the core of. |

I can't think of any quality history of the Third Reich that would qualify as "Hollywood" in any way. The best book on the S.S. is "The Order of the Death's Head", by Heinz Hoehne which chronicles all the stuff you tried to post but in much less space. The book details how how the Nazi Party members spent almost as much time and effort trying to screw each other over as they did exterminating the Jews and conquering Europe.
The idea that the world has been misled about the true nature of the Third Reich is an embarrassing one considering most of their story was written by the Third Reich before the war and its surviving members after the war. |

Just to follow up my post 727 where I referred too Hitler's Will, or more specifically his Political Will, which the so-called Revisionists, (Or at least the great majority.), are dedicated to carrying out. Here is Hitler's words about the "Evil" Jewish enemy: (From https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/My_Political_Testament)
Quote:
Later Hitler says:
Quote:
And at the end of Hitler's Political Testament we read:
Quote:
And since that Will was written so many so-called Revisionists have been campaigning against the "universal poisoner of all peoples". They have been following Hitler's suggestion with zeal and passion, against the source of all "Evil" in the world. In William Luther Pierce's The Turner Diaries Hitler is referred to has "The Great One" and the "Organization" is tasked with tracking down and murdering all of "Satan's spawn". Jews of course. To so many Revisionists Hitler is "The Great One", and like Hitler's will says they must pickup the struggle against the "universal poisoner of all peoples". Just like Pierce's "Organization". Of course these so-called Revisionists are very mum about what is their ultimate or final solution to the problem of dealing with "the universal poisoner of all peoples", or has Pierce calls them "Satan's spawn". Pierce was of course very honest about his fantasy of mass murdering every Jew down to the last man, woman and child and then goes on to fantasize about murdering most of the Human Race. Thoughts which seem very satisfying to Pierce. (Ugh!!) So just what is the so-called Revisionists actual aim? So following the directive of "The Great One", so many so-called Revisionists see themselves, like Hitler, engaged in a battle of the Sons of Light against the Sons of Darkness. But such is the will of "the Great One". |
