Click for free download of David Irving's book Goebbels. Mastermind of the Third Reich
IN JUNE AND JULY 1992 David Irving retrieved from the former Soviet secret state archives in Moscow missing sections of the Goebbels Diaries. Arguing that the resulting biography Goebbels. Mastermind of the Third Reichwas antisemitic, although they had not seen it, the New York-based Anti-Defamation League (ADL) intimidated Mr Irving's US publishers St Martins Press and Doubleday, who had nominated it their Book of the Month for May 1996, with a campaign of threats, partly organised anonymously on the Internet. The American publishers panicked and halted production only days before the publication date, as related elsewhere on this site. The ADL currently brags of its achievement. Mr Irving transcribed many of the glass microfiches. As it is unlikely that the German government or the Munich Institut für Zeitgeschichte will publish the handwritten texts which they obtained from Moscow for many years yet, he intends to post his transcription of these periods, particularly 1934, on this Website for the common usage. He has published the entire 1938 volume of Goebbels' diaries in an annotated and edited German edition, Der unbekannte Dr Goebbels [available from Focal Point ]. He welcomes comments and corrections to his transcriptions (though be warned: many of the mis-spellings like tuen, parlaver, Heyderich etc are by Goebbels himself).
