NP David Irving

[davemarc]

I'll stick with what I wrote:  "Irving strikes me as a modern-day example
of the kind of pseudo-scholars who advanced in Nazi Germany over the
exiled, imprisoned, and dead bodies of their colleagues."  I'm not saying
that the work Irving and his pseudo-scholar predecessors over the course of
their careers was 100% worthless.  But I am saying that Irving would have
done very well for himself in the German University system from 1935-1945
(advancing rapidly as his colleagues disappeared), and that his many
excursions into pseudohistory exemplify the bizarre and dangerous
distortions of history that the Nazis wished to establish.
