THE statement that I tried during the trial to suggest that
there was an "e" at the end of Himmler's word
Judentransport is an untruth by Professor
Evans (or perhaps a lapse of memory), as study of the trial
transcripts clearly shows. Consequently I did not have
to "retract" it when "shown the original document". He and his team
had the original document from me (no other historian had bothered to
read let alone transcribe Himmler's telephone log) and the whole page
was reproduced in every edition of my Hitler biography as a facsimile
illustration, which is where he had it from. What I did point out was
that in the absence of collateral evidence about this one episode,
the German word Transport can equally well refer to both
a transport of Jews, or
transportation of Jews.
