Heidemann was (and still is) a brilliant researcher on Nazi Germany.
He built up over the years, and has carefully guarded, an archive of 7,000 ring binders of exclusive documents and interviews . He made many of these documents available to Mr. Irving both then and later. Mr Irving published the translation of one key item, the shorthand record of Hitler’s conversation with a Swabian dipomat, Eduard Scharrer, in his newsletter Focal Point in 1982 (“The Voice from Beyond Valhalla”).
Along with his other research files, Mr Irving donated the German document to the Institut für Zeitgeschichte in Munich where it can be seen in the Sammlung Irving. More recently, for his work on Heinrich Himmler, Heidemann has provided to Mr Irving an even more crucial historic document – the primary shorthand notes taken by Scharrer’s secretary during the lengthy talk with Hitler.
Hitler sets out in unvarnished terms his secret ambitions, and his recipe for solving Germany’s problems, including hyper-inflation and the “Jewish Problem.” Mr Irving assesses this document as being of greater historical value than Mein Kampf , and even than Hitlers Zweites Buch .
