Peter Melbourne writes from Victoria, Australia on to tell us what he knows about “Peter Stahl” Another Peter Stahl alias I ALSO heard that “Gregory Douglas” goes under the name of Aaron L. Johnson . The person under that name recently authored the book Hitler’s Headquarters – Organisation, Structure, Security and Personal , a Roger Bender publication.
Hugh Page Taylor lives a suburb away from me and I’ve asked him a few times about Douglas but he remains very noncommittal. I believe he must find it hard that his friend Roger James Bender [ publisher of the counterfeit Gestapo-Müller Interrogations ] has been “sucked in” by Douglas. No doubt you’re aware that Werner Maser [ German professor, historian ] uses Douglas as a source in his biography on Hermann Göring . Again, one would think that Maser would know better.
Your story about the civil servant signing Adolf Hitler’s signature on a number of documents no doubt came from Johannes Göhler [ adjutant of SS Brigadeführer Hermann Fegelein ]. I met Hannes Göhler a few weeks ago whilst in Germany for a visit. He owns a geniune document with Hitler’s signature on it. He made sure the Führer signed it in his presence.

Peter Stahl dossier David Irving replies: YES, my source was Johannes Göhler . He provided me in the 1970s with a sheaf of letters which he wrote to his wife from Hitler’s HQ during the war years, a vital source of information in my biography Hitler’s War . I am hoping to peresuade him to speak one day at our annual Cincinnati Real History convention .
The Göhlers jointly gave me information on the location of the still unretrieved Hitler/Eva Braun corresopoindence and diaries, which were seized by CIC agent Robert Gutierrez in 1945. I shall shortly post my entire file on the latter mystery.
