Dear Readers,
Last October, after arriving in Florida, David Irving fell ill and has been in declining health ever since. He is now back in the UK and requires round-the-clock care, a demand we’ve had to arrange privately due to constraints with NHS services. He was hospitalised for nearly two months, enduring the kind of challenges we never anticipated he would face.
It is with sadness that we must accept that David is now unable to engage in his life’s work. His unwavering dedication to unveiling Real History has not only defined his career but also enriched the minds of readers worldwide. David’s situation, however, has placed us at a crossroads where the path forward demands collective support.
This is an appeal to safeguard the essence of a man whose life’s work has been to bring us closer to the nuanced truths of our past. Your donations will be pivotal in two primary areas:
- Medical Care and Support: Your contributions will ensure that David receives exemplary care to manage his condition and uphold the highest quality of life.
- Preservation and Continuation of His Work: Financial support is also imperative to safeguard David’s extensive body of work.
To participate in this crucial effort please donate. Here, you’ll find all the necessary information to make your contribution.
Regardless of size, every contribution is a step towards sustaining David’s impact on historical literature.
Your support and solidarity in this challenging time are invaluable. We will keep you informed of his health and well-being as he faces this stage of his life with dignity. He is in good hands.
Warm regards,
David Irving’s family
So very sad to learn of David’s condition. I always looked forward to his lectures here in St. Louis. What an intellect! What a memory! May God bless and preserve him.
Oh, that’s so heartbreaking! I’m from São Paulo, Brazil, and I really love all of his writings and his quest for real history! And yet today we are more than ever seeing how much he was absolutely right about the traditional enemies of free speech! He is a hero! An example of the bravery of real historians! May everyone be able to donate to him! He deserves it!
He’s a great inspiration and I hope he pulls through this trail in his life growing up he opened my eyes in my teenage years and I’d watch his speeches on YouTube and bitchute the world needs more men like him I pray and will donate what little I can despite the bad economy hopefully his last 3 books are written and can see the light of day.
Just donated $50 and purchased over $550 of Mr. Irving’s books and DVDs.
David Irving has experienced persecution, harassment, and even imprisonment, yet he continues to stand for the Truth. It is an admirable quality – and even envy.
I discovered David Irving’s writings 2 years ago. I only wish I found him earlier!
A worthy elder of our time.
Thank you for your service, Mr. David Irving
Hello,
I received the email regarding the very sad news concerning Mr. Irving’s current health situation.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who is wondering, but are there any plans to have the final Churchill and Himmler books published anytime soon?
One could only think that by publishing this would preserve Mr. Irving’s legacy and help raise funds for him.
Hi Michael,
That is the plan, more news to come. He is a one-man powerhouse and we are trying hard to step in to keep everything going and finalise his final works.
Regards,
David’s family
Thanks
Wonderful news! Thanks for everything you are doing for him — he has awakened so many people with his fearless pursuit of the truth in history (and now) and his brilliant abilities both to ascertain and convey it. God bless you all! I am buying some more books and DVDs and will make another donation… your work is priceless and my thanks goes beyond words!
Dear Mr. David Irving,
Blessings to your brave spirit.
I hope my modest donation may help a little.
Thank you so much for sharing your awesome intellect and eloquent words in service of truth.
I’m so sorry to hear about your severe health problems and pray you may – as throughout your life – find inner strength in this very challenging time.
Greetings from Amsterdam,

My best wishes to David Irving. You are a hero, sir, and despite your ephemerality in our material world, your memory shall be cherished forever more.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr Irving. Personally I have already read 3 of his books and spent many hours listening to his amazing lectures online, since I was 16yo. We can’t thank him enough for his great work, he is an inspiration for many generations.
Greetings from Greece
Get well soon. The man has done more than most in this world for the truth than anyone could ever hope to achieve.
My heart is broken at this turn of events. Mr. Irving changed my intellectual life in 2002 when I discovered his historical works and I was introduced to ‘Real History’. My debt to him cannot be repaid but with undying gratitude and respect.

i now have all of his books and cherish them all and also his many you-tube videos as well as the dvd’s from his store. i live in florida and wish i had known of his trouble and would have visited him to wish him well! hope his churchill vol. 3 and himmler vol 2 will be coming out. i wish this towering example of independent historical honesty the very best and wish him a full recovery! also i hope all his fans will donate as much as possible!
Just distraught over this. Can’t imagine a world without David Irving producing his magisterial works. I know he always had projects in the pipeline. I feel honored and supremely fortunate to have lived in the same era, to have met and heard him speak on many occasions.
I was really struck when I got the e-mail addressing Mr. Irving’s current health situation. When I found out Mr. Irving gives free access to all of his books a couple of years ago, on his own site, I couldn’t believe that in this day and age someone would forfeit possible income in the name of sharing hard earned knowledge for free. I immediately purchased three books (Hitler’s War, Rommel, Dresden) and after whole year of saving money, just last month, I purchased three more (Goebbels, Goring, Nuremberg). Purchasing those books, even though I could’ve download them for free, gave me a sense of pride of doing the right thing. That kind of feeling is lost in this world and I can only thank Mr. Irving for giving me the chance to experience it. I will be donating as soon as I’m able, and will be purchasing more books for years to come. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
To his family, whom must have been to hell and back alongside him for past not years but decades, I wish peace and strength in this hard times. With this new site and continuing his legacy, you’ve done your father proud already.
Saluting from Croatia
Thank you so much Vori,
Your words are truly heart-warming.
I’m so sorry to hear Mr. Irving is not doing well. I donated and also bought a couple of books. It’s not much, but I hope it helps. Wishing you all the best, Mr. Irving. You ran the race and fought the good fight. Not many of us will be able to say that when we come to this time of our lives. You are an inspiration.
I first really became of who David Irving was and his importance during the Lipstadt Trial in 2000. A few years before I had seen a couple of his books for sale but dismissed them as being written by some propagandist author. However, reading those trial transcripts and what they revealed set me on a path of correspondence with him till the present day. I have seen him speak three times in 2001, 2003, and 2008. I was lucky enough to have a one on one dinner conversation with him when he was passing through on his last US tour in 2018. I have all of his books and the Gehlen Memoirs that he translated had information in the book that was very revealing and applicable to my own life. This information solved a life mystery for me. I will donate soon and will always cherish our correspondence which lasted over twenty years. I hope by some miracle he makes a full recovery and is able to finish his final works the way he wants them to be finished. I wish him all the best and my prayers are with him.
I’m very saddened to hear about Mr. Irving’s poor condition. He remains maybe the most important historian of the past century and his work is of tremendous importance. David Irving has my utmost respect; I owe it to his work that I’m aware of the real 20th century history. May God bless Mr. Irving. He is in my prayers.
I wish the Irving family strenght and unity. David’s contribution to truth did not come cheap. He was a truth warrior. One who was shaking the hornets nest. What he has achieved cannot be undone in any mind that has been in contact with his writting or lectures. I wish to thank him for his work. He must know that it might have been a job for him but it was a profound gift to the world, to morality and sanity. Learning the truth about WWII has shined light on all the current lies necessary to keep the old propaganda version gowing. I can now live in truth. But I am only a man. I cannot imagine the relieft a parent of beautiful german children feels when she discovers she has concrete evidence to heal the shame, guilt and self loathing that is maliciously instilled in every german child. His work is a cure to the historical lies so German children can grow up being proud, not hating who they are! This is priceless!
I’ll be waiting to see when you put new dates on your calendar so I can buy a ticket and have the pleasure of listening to you in person. If you can come to Canada!
Thank you Mister Irving! The Archive King!!! Take care of yourself!
Best Wishes to David for recovery! I have made a modest contribution.
I was privileged to attend several of his New York City presentations, which as one may imagine, were not easy to schedule.
His Truth is marching on!

To many in New Zealand David Irving is a colossus standing against the world’s worst tyranny. I once wrote to him and he replied with helpful advice. Our thoughts are with you.
Thanks to David Irving for, at considerable risk, awakening a mass audience to the truth of what really happened in World War 2, and thereby undermining confidence in those who deserve a no confidence!
Very sorry to hear of Mr. Irving’s health problems, I thought something was amiss when the website was not updated and my worst fears have been realized. He’s in my prayers.
I’ve read his books since the seventies, they’re in the forefront of my library, for the period he covered he was the only historian worth reading. A brave, courageous, incredibly hardworking man, excellent writer. He stands above all of the others combined.
My best wishes to him and his family.
I’m very sorry to hear about Mr. Irving’s health. I first heard of him through videos of his lectures and interviews. They were a big part of my learning the truth of our history.
The book and dvd I ordered will be a valuable addition to my collection.
I pray for your health and hope that you recover soon.

God bless you David, and your family. You were persecuted for telling the truth long before Snowden, Assange, Pilger, et al. However, your truth is valued by millions around the world and you have made wonderful histories available to them. You will get your just rewards, as will the zionists who have distorted the truth and have captured the govts of the western world.
Hearing about David Irving’s poor health is very sad news indeed as he is without doubt one of the finest historians around. David has walked a path that many other authors have feared to tread. Fortunately his books will stand the test of time and be recognised as the great works they truly are. History can never forget David Irving or the excellent “Hitler’s War”. My thoughts and well wishes are with David and his family at this very challenging time.
Don David Irving: ANIMO, MUCHO ANIMO. My best wishes for you to get better and soon recover. You are the best Historian, a very Brave man and a man of great Inspiration for all of us who like the TRUTH.
UN ABRAZO DON DAVID
Prayers for your good health David. Get well soon.
It was with great sadness and concern that I received the email about Mr. Irving’s declining health. He has become my favourite author bar none and, having read nearly 10 of his books, I relish the prospect of reading more and almost began to feel that he would simply continue writing forever. He is, truly, as mortal as the rest of us.
I will make a donation to support this giant of a scholar — someone who has changed my perspectives on history and encouraged me to question so much of what I have been taught or thought I knew about relatively recent history. Mr. Irving tackles issues head on that others either skirt or simply avoid because they are difficult, yet it is in dealing with the most difficult questions that true progress is made.
Thank you for your life’s work and your inimitable style, Mr. Iriving! Godspeed you in your recovery!
I am late to the work of Mr. Irving but am very impressed by his writing and his tenacity in the face of so much hate. I have Hitler’s War and True Himmler and had been thinking about purchasing the Goebbels book. After hearing the sad news about his health, I certainly will do so in the near future. All in the so-called “free” West owe him thanks for his work.
I wish that the NHS will sort out its red tape or whatever is preventing proper care. Until then I hope my humble donation will help. Good luck to the Irving family.
Your bravery and dedication to absolute fidelity in historical research has given the world the knowledge needed to understand why events happened and how they happened. You helped fill in the missing pieces and correct the misunderstandings due to shameful expurgations by vested interests who desperately tried to suppress the truth to line their pockets and fill their vaults.
Humanity owes you debt that cannot be paid in a lifetime.
May you regain your health soon and continue your most important work.
I and mine pray that God grant you (and yours) relief from what ails you, dear Mr Irving. From our hearts also we thank you for so valiantly, and selflessly being a rare signpost of that ancient, yet immutable maxim that, vincit omnia veritas. As for your (and our) adversaries who rule from the shadows in behalf of that princeps huius mundi, their glory is as that of the glow-worm: brief, swallowed by unending night; while your herald spirit shines on in its eternally un-benighted archetype.
With profoundest thanks to a veritable prince amongst scholars,
Mahmud Shushtari and family, and friends.
I worked with David Irving after a brief chat (at the time I was splitting up with someone, and sought paid work). He kept his fpp.co.uk site (Focal Point Press) which he kept on his Apple computer. He was involved in his lawsuit against Lipstadt and Penguin Books — not the other way round. At this time he lived in his Duke Street flat (=apartment, in US English) with his Scandinavian wife, and young daughter. He had what’s called a military bearing, dissimilar from what I now see as the concealed military types, generally Jews using parasitized money to arrange conflicts and deaths.
It was a fascinating experience to attend the Law Courts in the Strand, watch the huge band of Jews working their computer and comms systems, see the parades of young ‘Jews’ watching, going for lunch there where such dim luminaries as Mrs Tony Blair plied their money-grabbing trade. I was photographed with an infra-red camera, I suppose by some Jewish clown. I noticed Kevin MacDonald now of the Occidental Observer, Lady Renouf (a recent awakener), and no doubt others.
David met many people in those days and told me money poured into ‘every available orifice’. I was only slightly Jew-aware at the time, and regret not keeping in touch with him, especially as I developed along different lines, very much suppressed by the ‘powers that be’, such as the Jewish ownership of all sides in WW2 and for that matter WW1.
I have to say I despair at some of the comments here – Snowden, Assange, Pilger are of course phonies; the Hitler-worshipping types have managed to steer themselves into deep grooves, so the manufactured animosities remain uncorrected; some still believe parts of the Holohoax fabrication; none mention such things as the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, which ushered in the present era.
Strokes can be fairly harmless, but can be deadly and life-shattering; I fear David may be irreversibly injured. I hope not. I hope he can recover sufficiently to complete his life’s work. I’d be even more pleased if he could obtain information from Jewish archives — if they keep them — and produce unique new work.
I hope it’s too early to say R.I.P. — I shall just hope for David’s revival

David Irving committed the shysterized West’s ultimate heresy.
May his inevitable vindication arrive while he is able to savor it.
Thank you, David. Thank you.
My Vkontakte Roadmap for my RBN Live listeners today included Mr. Irving’s situation at https://vk.com/wall468804996_53956.
He and I met in Houston at his private conference some years ago. I own a number of his books.
Donation coming soon.
I haven’t donated, however I’ve purchased one of Mr. Irving’s books. I hope this suffices to help support him and his family at this difficult time.
Thank you for your work David.
Best wishes to both you and your family.
David had written in an aol email dated Tue, Sep 14, 2021, 7:41 PM that he would we be happy to have met my father.
At the time I had suggested that using mesenchymal stem cells had given just amazing results to my German father who had sepsis in the blood.
Everything was cured in 9 days from a blood test.

I only recently discovered your work through seeing one of your presentations on YouTube. Totally captivated by your character, determination and sense of humour.
Thank you for the amazing body of work you have left for us to appreciate and enjoy. The World is a smaller place without you.
My thoughts and prayers to family and friends.
Just heard news of Mr. Iving’s passing. All my thoughts and prayers are with his family, may they find strength in these hard times and I hope they know that Mr. Irving’s work will never be forgotten and we are all sorry to hear these sad news.
Irving was one of the most courageous and well infromed man of his time. I know that God has taken him to him and will take good care of him.
Rest in Peace Mr. Iving.
Hello, David has not passed. He is still alive but simply not well enough to continue working.
God bless you ma’am, and the family. God with us, God for us.
David Irving has been the highest quality historian for over 60 years now. I first read his books in the 1980s. these books were easily available. As powerful forces tried to suppress his work he entered into a new phase, self publishing and distribution. we met through the post. His friend down South that handled USA distribution was a good guy, but then he was unavailable. I complained and recieved a letter and refund directly from David Irving, as his friend was murdered. I then started to help Me. Irving, set up a few small lecture groups, help sell some books. it was always fun and interesting to hear him speak. It’s been a honour knowing you my friend. I hope the best for you and your family.
I knew I shouldn’t trust the internet…. I am very happy to hear he has not passed away. I pray that he gets better.
Thanks for the update Paloma. I hope he will recover and add another 20 years. He’s the greatest historian of all time.
Hello, is David still with us as of today (21/02) – Twitter is once again a whirlwind of conflicting information, some saying he passed today.
All the best,
Winnie
I may very well be the one who started the rumor he had passed. I received a Michael Hoffman post with a sentence that said ‘David Irving died.’ I mentioned this on X or Twitter a few days back. I am so relieved to hear he is still with us. Everything Mr. Irving writes is well worth reading. His first two volumes of Churchill’s War were a real eye-opener for me. I pray God heals this man and gives him the strength to continue working and enjoying the love of his family. God Bless you, David, and get well soon.
Mr. Hoffman’s work is also worthwhile. I am happy Mr. Irving is still with us. I hope he is resting comfortably despite his illness.
I have an order pending which includes an uncharge for books personally signed by Mr. Irving. If he was unable to sign, no need to refund the difference. Please keep it as a modest contribution.
John Moore
Correction: “upcharge” not uncharge.
I really hope that the news circulating online isn’t true but I fear that it is.
From the beginning they burned and censored all your books, stole your documents, blacked out and denigrated you everywhere and even imprisoned you, all because you had opinions based on research, research that over time turned out to be more and more truthful. You had the opportunity to interview and dialogue with very important people for the theses that you then revealed to the world.
This is the reality of free speech in liberal democracies being hated and persecuted because you have brought uncomfortable and real facts to light.
You must be proud to have had DAVID IRVING as your father, a giant among men whose only fault was that he dared to challenge a system held up by lies.
Britain’s greatest WW2 historian, he has spent his entire life dedicating himself to the fight against this corrupt system, it was a real fight for the truth from start to finish.
You will be remembered as a martyr, we will never forget you and we will never forget everything you did for us.
Truth does not fear investigation.
Rest in peace David Irving.

My prayers go out for Mr Irving. I have downloaded and repeatedly listened to every speech of his, that I have been able to find, as well as purchased more than a dozen of his books.
He took the hard path, and shone a light on the truth, standing like a beacon in the night. I am very grateful for his sacrifice and have been able to share his work with family and friends. He has helped awaken many of us from our slumber,
Are there still plans in place to publish his autobiography?
God Bless.
Dear Mr.Irving
I am very sorry to hear of your condition. My intention was to contact you and have a conversation with you about things I believe you would find of great interest but this is clearly impossible at the moment. I have followed you with great interest. I wish you to recover as quickly as possible
The truly despicable and ruthless attack on David Irving reveals the vicious nature of the Zionist inspired ideologues who stop at nothing to perpetuate the fraudulent narrative of WW2 that the maniacal Hitler desired to conquer the world and eliminate the Jewish race via gas chambers and such. Irving’s research upends this falsehood which was instrumental in the creation of Zionist Israel.
He has contributed to the establishment of the Truth. I admire him and will contribute to his welfare. Joe
David is a world class historian & should be revered as such (which he is by his admirers). To see some of the recent vitriol spewed out by those who take joy in David’s current ill health is shocking. What some of the “tribe” have to say about him in his current state is shameful, but sadly to be expected.
You deserve better, David. I sincerely wish you a speedy recovery & to eventually return to what you do best. The world would be far worse off without you in it.
I am absolutely mortified by what has happened to Mr Irving. I know that, other than being a meticulous researcher and an entertaining and gripping writer, he is also a man who has been very dedicated to his family. My thoughts go out to the lovely Jessica and his other daughters.
The truth cannot be held back forever, and it begins with the fact that David Irving did nothing wrong. May his ride to Valhalla be swift, and may his chariot break the sky like he broke the lies of our enemies.
WWII Historians, there are none except David Irving, who have the integrity, wisdom and guts to tell us the truth. Thank you so much. You have my deepest respect, David. I am happy to have supported you earlier, and still do, of course. See you soon, my teacher and friend!
Hope that mr irving get wel soon !! Greetings to all of the family
Cheers to everyone who has donated, purchased books, and sent well wishes to Mr. Irving. Men with his courage, character, and talent are very rare.
After taking numerous history courses in my educational journey, and reading enough “history” books to fill several bushel baskets, I can say that precious few of those instructors or authors even come close to what Mr. Irving has accomplished.
His family deserves Thanks for helping out during this difficult episode.
Best wishes, David, for a speedy recovery.
As political exiles from communist Cuba in 1960 I remember as a child my father commenting, not long after our family arrived on U.S. soil, that it was incomprehensible to him how the U.S. had allowed a two-bit gangster like Fidel Castro to secure a communist beach head in the Western Hemisphere. He had registered to go to the Bay of Pigs invasion, but it did not take him long to realize that these freedom fighters were going to be betrayed by JFK and he pulled out just in time. He was, of course, proved right by the disastrous sequela. Henceforth, his search for historical and political truth and accuracy led him to build a sizeable library at home I was privy to of quite a few books by varied and reputable authors.
You can say that it rubbed off on me. This is why I can only have admiration for historians such as David Irving who do not compromise their integrity and values. If it were not for authors of his intelligence, caliber, and steadfastness we would continue to be in the dark. I have purchased and read most of his works and I hope and pray that my modest donation contributes to help him regain his health.
There are many ties I have with David Irving,that is what icons do.
They remind you of familiar people,their experiences,one can so well relate to.
My mother for example used to plow through files for days and thaught herself the reading of old german handwriting for research.
Once i remarked in an e-mail how he is such a father figure to me,(and i believe many others)teaching the value of real history and free speech,his field of interest was the period that formed my parents,like him i wanted to know what really happened and why.
It was hard to accept that Mr.Irving ended up fighting much of the battle for free speech alone,but like Solzhenitsyn rightfully said:A great writer is one who tells the truth without fear or favor.
I also told him that his battle is not forgotten and his legacy will last and he laid the solid basis for that,hopefully that knowledge hovers over his thoughts in these hard times.
I wish Mr.Irving and his family strenght for now,my thoughts are with you and i will try to aid to my ability.
Kind regards,
Benjamin
Among David’s timeless gifts to mankind, besides his numerous scholarly works, has been his unrelenting courage to speak TRUTH – to remain DEFIANT in the face of constant threats to speak the truth – what a role model! What a hero! What a legacy to inspire future truth tellers!! His books are trophies reflecting his indomitable courage. I can’t imagine the hardships David’s family endured to allow him to write; no doubt their sacrifices were long and intense; and I am as grateful to them as I am to David. I’m so saddened that David is ending a long storied career. Our species need him more than ever though surely there are young historians inspired by his professionalism and magnificent character to carry the torch. David, his family, and circle of friends are in my prayers. Long live David Irving!!
David Irving is a pillar of truth. Sadly, in this day and age of neocons, commies, pinkos, leftists, liberals, and so forth truth has been hijacked. It is downright sickening. We all know who the culprits are, but they are protected by the media and filthy ultra rich. Best wishes for a full recovery and hope to attend one of your lectures again so that I can shake your hand again.
To Mr. David Irving,
You, Sir, are a national treasure. You have worked for so many years against all the odds and the unfairness that has come out since the end of the Second World War and I have nothing but huge respect for you, Sir.
Your works, which you committed so much time to, and professionalism will always be respected, so thank you, David.
I will 100% continue to read your material again and again, as well as spread it to the next generation as it should be.
Thank you so much, Mr. Irving.
Dear David and Family
It is with profound gratitude that I wish to thank you for opening my eyes!!
The world does not want the truth because it compromises their agenda. It is true indeed “History is Written by the Victors,” I experienced this in South Africa given the political change, leading up to 1994 and especially thereafter.
I was sadly not privileged to be able to attend any of your lectures or speeches. My booby prize is to have, and cherish many of your books.
It is with much sadness that I read about your illness. I truly hope that my meagre donation will find you well.
Once again, my sincere appreciation and thank you for enriching my life.
Blessings in abundance.
Ping : A Heartfelt Thank You From David's Family | Irving Books
I have heard that Mr. Irving’s health has been slowly improving. I hope and pray that’s the case.
Thirteen yrs ago, I happened across “Churchill’s War” in a Half-Price Books in Austin, Tx. When I got home, I realized, “Oh no! I just bought a book by the guy that Richard Evans wrote about.” I actually had “Lying About Hitler” on my shelf, but hadn’t yet read it. I decided to read “Churchill’s War” first and, well, the rest is history.
I quickly assessed the charlatan wasn’t Mr Irving, but was Richard Evans. So, Evans’ book went in the trash (dustbin;) and in the following months and years, I tracked down most of Mr. Irving’s titles and read them all. Actually, I read many of them on my PC, but I do own hard copies. (Folio makes such gorgeous books. It’s a crime not to own the hard copies.) As has been mentioned in other comments, it says so much about Mr Irving that he makes the books available in PDF at no cost.
I really can’t overstate the impact “Churchill’s War” and “Hitler’s War” had on my life. Mr. Irving’s works changed the way I looked at history and historiography – and the world. I’m forever indebted to the man. As the years pass and the clutches of certain groups loosen, Mr Irving’s works will be prominently seen as beacons of truth in an otherwise propaganda saturated field. The men who made the history are long gone, but the books will carry the true history forward for future generations.
Through watching many of Mr Irving’s speeches, I’ve gotten to hear little bits and pieces about his family and what you all went through along with him. I’ve often thought of how hard that must’ve been on all of you. Thank you.
The man will be forever remembered and respected for his life’s work and all he had to endure to bring it to us. If you could please pass along my best wishes to him, it would mean so much to me. Ive gone back to order more books multiple times of late and will do so again – and again as I’m gonna be giving these books out to family and friends. All the best.
