London, March 3,
1999
Dear Prof. Kershaw
thank you for your letter of
December 17 (I plead absence from the
UK for the delay). We hope to get a new
edition of Hitler's
War out soon. I have
heard many favourable voices from the
USA about your own book; the reading
public's appetite for Hitler seems
insatiable.
I may write to you again in a
few days about experts. I shall need to
marshal a platoon of experts for
a
High Court libel action,
who can advise the judge on the
changing meaning of wartime German
words, etc. Have you any idea about a
suitable linguist, as opposed to an
historian? I don't mind what his views
are, it is expertise that I am looking
for.
Yours sincerely,
David Irving
