[Back
to Police Sergeant Hofmann
Index] David Irving supplies to
his barrister recently retrieved extracts from the
transcript of the 1924 Hitler Trial, for the
appeal: June 8, 2001 THIS
concerns "Police-Officer Hofmann". I attach a raw,
uncorrected Xerox print-out of the materials recovered from
my 1980 8-inch Xerox discs. I have made no attempt to
correct the print-out anomalies (e.g. in the recovery
process all diacriticials, characters with umlauts etc.,
have been lost). The first page makes plain the problems
that a "scholar" like Evans, who works by preference
from printed library books, willingly overlooks -- the sheer
scale of paperwork involved in research into an item that
eventually became just 2 or 3 pages of Göring;
52+55 pages (17,436 + 17,169 words!) copy-typed by me from a
dim microfilm-reader screen in a foreign language,
German.

rolls 1 and 2 and 3: transcript of the Hitler Trial, Feb
26, 1924
- PROVENANCE: Amtsgericht München (?), NA
Record Group
- 1048, Records of Adjutant General. The film is
2,916 pages
- long. The trial ran from 26. February to 1.April
1924. "Haupt-

Hochverrats."
I sent the original 8 inch Xerox floppies to the
conversion firm Downloading Ltd (of Ealing) in November
1999; after many reminders from me, they supplied the disc
to me on my return from USA this April
[2001]. The top page is
the burned-in data on the disc supplied to me which
identifies it as having been created (by Downloading Ltd) on
April 25 this year. Yours sincerely, 
David Irving .  |
