Two memorable talks by specialists of the Third Reich and World War II, at the IHR meeting on April 17, 2005.

British historian David Irving, speaking on "The Faking of Adolf Hitler for History," identifies some of the many fraudulent historical documents that have been cited over the years by "conformist" historians of the Third Reich era. As even his adversaries concede, Irving’s knowledge of Hitler and wartime Germany is unrivaled. He is the author of numerous books on this era, many of them best-sellers, including his monumental work, Hitler's War.

Thrilling, first-person account of the July 20, 1944, attempt to assassinate Hitler and take control of Germany, and how it failed. Remer, who was commander of the Berlin guard battalion, is unapologetic about his key role in putting down the attempted putsch. From the 8th IHR Conference, 1987. An informative introduction provides background and historical context.

A knowledgeable, personalized look at the life of a respected and beloved German military and political leader. An important lecture, from the Fifth IHR Conference (1983). Thompson -- editor of Dönitz:at Nuremberg: A Reappraisal – tells the story of how Hitler appointed Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz as his successor, shortly before his death, and sketches the monumental challenges faced by the new Reich President as German resistance was collapsing and enemy forces invaded from East and West. The short-lived Dönitz government, Thompson contends, was Germany’s last legitimate regime. On May 23, 1945, the victorious Allied powers summarily dissolved it – in violation of international law – and arrested Dönitz and other leading officials. Thompson also reviews the shameful Allied prosecution of Dönitz at Nuremberg, his unjust prison sentence, and the final years of his life.

Audio of the video shown at the Eleventh IHR Conference -- 1992. The son of Hitler's faithful Deputy talks about the dramatic life and mysterious death of his father. Rudolf Hess' bold 1941 flight to Scotland seeking to end World War II resulted in 46 years of imprisonment, until his death in 1987. His fate as the 20th century's Prisoner of Peace points up the vindictiveness and hypocrisy of the Nuremberg Tribunal. Here his son argues persuasively that Hess was murdered at the hands of British captors.
