David Irving had written to this correspondent July 29, 2000:

ONE minor point on the "no liquidation" argument, and the Himmler/Heydrich telephone note of November 30, 1941. Evans makes the point that I "know" that Himmler did not see Hitler until after that phone conversation, so Hitler's part in it is zero.

Against this it must be said that the time of Himmler's phone call is from his post facto telephone note, the appointed time of his meeting with Hitler is implied only from his prior agenda, which is not a diary. Hitler may very well have seen him at any time before their appointed hour. Himmler had certainly already reached the Führer HQ hours before. The big point in all this, is why none of the "scholars" mention or mentioned any of these documents before I did in 1977!
