Historical Material Policy ->About the book
Orders issued in a headquarters become battles fought hundreds of miles away. In Hitler’s War, David Irving follows that passage from decision to consequence, reconstructing the Second World War around Adolf Hitler’s military conferences, political calculations and relationships with the people closest to him.
Inside the book
The wartime narrative runs from the invasion of Poland through the campaigns in France, North Africa and the Soviet Union to the collapse of the Reich in April 1945. Alongside the battles, Irving examines intelligence reports, weapons production, diplomacy, rivalry among commanders, Hitler’s health and the July 1944 assassination attempt. Diaries, correspondence, official records and interviews with members of Hitler’s staff underpin his account; extensive notes set out his sources and arguments.
The perspective is deliberately centred on Hitler’s headquarters. Irving argues that Hitler neither ordered nor condoned the genocide of Europe’s Jews. That exculpatory interpretation forms part of the book’s Holocaust denial and should not be treated as established history. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum places the book in the history of Holocaust denial.
