Real History and the Traditional Enemies of Free Speech The Index to the Traditional Enemies of Free Speech Alphabetical index (text) origins of anti-semitism [Images added by this website] David Irving, the controversial historian says he ‘hopes the buyer has a money-back guarantee’ London, Described as a Hitler self-portrait, and its inner meaning discussed by many learned critics and scholarsMandrake Hitler ‘self-portrait’ might

be fake By Richard Eden WHEN a “self-portrait” of Adolf Hitler was sold amid much fanfare last month for 10 times its reserve price, the auctioneer’s historical documents expert boasted about the amount of interest that it had received. The same “expert” has, however, now admitted that the painting, signed “A.

Hitler 1910″, might be a fake after Mandrake pointed out to him that it was, in fact, likely to be a painting of Clapper Bridge on Dartmoor. “It’s impossible to know exactly if they are genuine,” says Richard Westwood-Brookes , of Mullocks auction house, which sold the picture for £10,000 along with 12 other watercolours that it claimed were by the Nazi leader.

“It’s like if someone gave you a piece of wood and said ‘this is from the Battle of Trafalgar’, you wouldn’t be able to tell 100 per cent if it was. You can never be entirely sure. Nobody came forward despite a huge amount of publicity before the sale to say that the paintings were fake.” David Irving , the controversial historian, who initially denounced the “Hitler Diaries” that were published by The Sunday Times in 1983 as forgeries, says he “hopes the buyer has a money-back guarantee”.

He tells me: “I warned all concerned that the paintings are all fakes. I have handled perhaps a score of genuine Hitler artworks, usually sold by the people, close friends, to whom Hitler had given them. They were all catalogued at one time.” the bridge on which “Hitler” is sitting turns out to be the well known Clapper Bridge on Dartmoor in Devon. Hitler never visited England.
