David Irving(V)

Historical biographer who had some success with writing WWII biographies of Hitler, Himmler, Goering, Hess, Churchill, and Goebbels. He has also translated the memoirs of German General Reinhard Gehlen. Additionally, he wrote a history of the bombing of the city of Dresden and the anti-communist uprising in Hungary in the 1950's. His self-taught and biased 'scholarship' is as questionable as his openly right-wing politics, since most of his works are concerned with rehabilitating the Third Reich and denying the Holocaust. Because of these propagandist and revisionist positions, he used to be the most popular historian in international Neo Nazi circles, but his influence is marginal today, because he has been exposed as a fraud by serious historical scholarship.
