Genius level IQ, courageous war hero, handsome, skilled politician and liked by everyone who dealt with him, due to his winning character and friendliness. Unlike other Nazis, he wasn't obsessed with stupid ideas, but primarily cared about power and enjoying life to the fullest.

Out of the leading Nazis, he's probably the one I would enjoy talking to and hanging out with the most. Goebbels was a spineless, pathetic loser, Hitler a raving maniac, Himmler an autist sperglord. Only Göring was a reasonable and affable person. Would shoot up morphine with.

I always found his speeches very awkward and stilted. Who says they were well done? Where does this meme come from? The only person who calls him a propaganda genius is himself, but if you look at the actual impact of his propaganda through SD reports and social studies, it actually didn't really accomplish anything during the third reich. He was competent when it came to organizing election campaigns, which he did not do alone, by the way, but when he ran his own ministry, there really wasn't any success there.

The reach of propaganda is difficult to assess, obviously, but he was no doubt instrumental in the rise of the NSDAP especially in urban areas, Goebbels helped bring the Berlin Gau wing of the party into line, which was essential for cohesion.

Bytwerk has some good translations of his better speeches and pamphlets, but his obvious contribution was with film and setting that industry up. Very impressive.

Most people would argue that he crashed it with no survivors. Germany went from one of the most important film producing countries to a backwater over the course of his reign.

More like "in the northern areas". The NSDAP managed without him in South Germany. I don't deny his impact before 1933, only that his ministry was more than a waste of resources afterwards.

>Bytwerk has some good translations of his better speeches and pamphlets

>Germany went from one of the most important film producing countries to a backwater over the course of his reign.
Obviously Jews and Jewish funding left, along with some big names - same thing happened across the board in science and other fronts, but I'm speaking on a propaganda level.

>More like "in the northern areas". The NSDAP managed without him in South Germany. Again, he provided a huge assess to the NSDAP with his consolidation and propaganda techniques, why you'd doubt this and call him a weenie or whatever is beyond me. He clearly knew his shit.

Don't be dense - when I say the Berlin Gau and the working class areas clearly this means the north. The Munich group wasn't what I was discussing.

>his ministry was more than a waste of resources afterwards.
Subjective, clearly the propaganda machine was churning out success far after 33, even a fool would see the Olympics as an example of this.

>I listened to some stuff in German and was not impressed.
Wow, what an assessment. Clearly you've delved into his work and I should give up.

No, their "insult" is that he picks, chooses, omits, misinterprets, etc. whatever evidence he can to support his argument. The most obscure the better. Evans had to go to great lengths to discredit his evidence supporting his egregious Dresden casualty figures.

This is wholly incorrect and is just your own personal idiocy coming into play.I simply suggested a book that is a good read, as is The End and well, that's about all you have to speak of there, but even Junge will demonstrate that Goebbels was clearly not some fuckboy like you are.

What does Irving care? Oh, I'm sure the $3.2 million judgement against him might motivate him enough. He's not allowed to give speeches or presentations in some countries. I'm sure he has a lot of financial motivation to clear his name.

>Then what is your problem? Irving isn't perfect, but it's a worth while read if you enjoy his other work, such as those in Rommel.

If you enjoy his other work? Hahahahaha. It's all bullshit man. Hitler's War, The Destruction of Dresden, etc.

My problem is idiots like yourself that suggesting others read David Irving's works. A lot of people come to this board interested in learning and looking for books on a particular subject, such as the Third Reich. Giving them revisionism at it's finest does nothing but taint history.

Yes, those laws to protect the "truth" sure are great!

>My problem is idiots like yourself that suggesting others read David Irving's works.

Even the Wiki laments that he was, in fact, quite regarded until the Holocaust Industry went full swing:

"Irving, once highly regarded for his expert knowledge of German military archives, was a controversial figure from the start. His interpretations of the war were widely regarded as unduly favourable to the German side. At first this was seen as personal opinion, unpopular but consistent with full respectability as a historian. By 1988, however, Irving had begun to reject the status of the Holocaust as a systematic and deliberate genocide; and he soon became the main proponent of Holocaust denial. This, along with his association with far-right circles, dented his standing as a historian. A marked change in Irving's reputation can be seen in the surveys of the historiography of the Third Reich produced by Ian Kershaw. In the first edition of Kershaw's book The Nazi Dictatorship in 1985, Irving was called a "maverick" historian working outside the mainstream of the historical profession."

But yeah, keep posting your shitty picture of a bookshelf thinking that's really high quality. Hell, you even post that awful "memoir" from Hoess thinking that doesn't come with a huge debate itself. Regardless, people should be allowed to research and read how they want.

Can you be a dense idiot elsewhere? What's your purpose here, exactly?

"As a military historian, Irving has much to commend him. For his works of military history Irving has undertaken thorough and painstaking research into the archives. He has discovered and disclosed to historians and others many documents which, but for his efforts, might have remained unnoticed for years. It was plain from the way in which he conducted his case and dealt with a sustained and penetrating cross-examination that his knowledge of World War 2 is unparalleled. His mastery of the detail of the historical documents is remarkable. He is beyond question able and intelligent. He was invariably quick to spot the significance of documents which he had not previously seen. Moreover he writes his military history in a clear and vivid style. I accept the favourable assessment by Professor Watt and Sir John Keegan of the calibre of Irving's military history ... and reject as too sweeping the negative assessment of Evans .... [Richard Evans, a historian who testified for the defense, had stated that Irving has had "a generally low reputation amongst professional historians since the end of the 1980s and at all times amongst those who have direct experience of researching in the areas with which he concerns himself"; although not noted by Judge Gray, Evans also reiterated Lipstadt's charge that Irving was not a historian at all.] But the questions to which this action has given rise do not relate to the quality of Irving's military history but rather to the manner in which he has written about the attitude adopted by Hitler towards the Jews and in particular his responsibility for the fate which befell them under the Nazi regime."

>>599931

We're obviously discussing the Irving-Lipstadt trial because that was the only one that Evans (which has been cited multiple times above) was called as an expert witness.

Goddamn, you are grasping for straws.

And yes, he was primarily judged on his historical abilities in the Lipstadt trial. That's why Evans, Wachmann, Longerich, Browning, van Pelt, etc. were called to analyze his fucking historical abilities.

Irving got a kick out of being the "maverick" of Nazi Germany. Finally, he kicked the wrong nest and the actual experts of Nazi Germany showed just how much of a quack he was.

And, as Evans notes in his book, Irving chose to file suit in England because their civil courts place the burden of proof on the defendant and not the plaintiff. He fully expected Penguin Books to back down.

Now, again, go fuck off.

Don't worry, the Jews still won.

Irving was called as an "expert witness" in the Zundel trial. So was Fred Leuchter. This back fired because Dr. James Roth gets called to trial and basically shows how full of shit Leuchter's findings were.

>"Not one of [Irving's] books, speeches or articles, not one paragraph, not one sentence in any of them, can be taken on trust as an accurate representation of its historical subject. All of them are completely worthless as history, because Irving cannot be trusted anywhere, in any of them, to give a reliable account of what he is talking or writing about. ... if we mean by historian someone who is concerned to discover the truth about the past, and to give as accurate a representation of it as possible, then Irving is not a historian".
>>
>>599981

Evans was hired by the defense to analyze Irving's historical abilities and methodology. He wrote a 700+ page report (that's linked above) and later a book about how full of shit he was.

I mean he gave example after example after example after example of how full of shit he was.

Irving fails to weave sources into theories and just selectively picks whatever suits the narrative he has in his head instead of looking at the sources and working upwards from them. He is consistently unable to interpret what he finds and contextualize it. He completely and utterly fails the most important thing: connection the dots into a picture of the past that encompasses all of them and sheds light on their true meaning. That's why he is a bad "historian".

>His ability as a historian is not in question, but rather his "attitude"
No real historian takes him seriously or recommends his books. They use primary sources he turned up, but all his "conclusions" are basically worthless, because he does not care about the truth in any way. He just wants to show that the Nazis were swell guys who didn't do nuthin.

Also

I disagree with them and I know a couple things about historiography. Reality gives me right as well, since Irving was never part of the academic discourse of anything, as far as I'm aware.

Ultimately it depends on your defintion of historian. Is everyone who writes something about the past and uses primary sources a historian, no matter how truthful and sound his work is? If you apply no standards, then he is a historian, just a rather bad one. In my opinion, you cannot say "his work is good, except he lies often and all his conclusions are what he wants to be true rather than what is supported by his sources". That's not history, the same way free energy and cleansing crystals are not physics.

Not quite, again, his ability as a historian is clear, even to the judge.

His mastery of the detail of the historical documents is remarkable. He is beyond question able and intelligent.

I'm not the Irving shill on here but Evans does not use his lack of academic qualifications to dismiss him. He actually agrees with an Irving quote in his book Lying About Hitler:

Was Pliny as historian? Was Tacitus? Did he get a degree in some university?

Evans responded:

This was true. Irving could not be dismissed just because he lacked formal qualifications.

Lipstadt is a professor at Emory; she is not "well funded". Her publishers were well funded. She hired her own lawyer; they hired theirs.

Firstly do you hold the Soviets up to the same standard, seeing how they ethnically cleansed areas of Poland and Prussia? That they were rapists and thieves- all well documented? You act as if you have a moral high ground- but then post images of Soviets who are either taking prisoner of or killing Germans. So clearly your presentation of holding moral high ground is mask to hide your personal sentiments, whether they be anti-German or pro-Soviet or pro-Communism. Secondly ethnic cleansing of what part of Eastern Europe? Not the Czechs, or the Hungarians (who were allied) or the Ukranians (many who served in the wehrmacht), maybe the Poles? But if you sympathized with the Poles, then why post pro-Soviet imagery seeing how the Soviets massacred thousands of Poles?
I just get this impression you're here to troll.
>>
>>600240

I completely grasp that the conduct of the Soviets was horrific while they campaigned across Europe to Berlin. I personally think Dresden was a war crime by the Brits. I think Hiroshima and Nagasaki were war crimes as well. I agree, the Soviets had designs on chunks of Eastern Europe and were quite happy to ally themselves with the Nazis i.e. Poland in order to fulfill their desires.

None of this makes what the Nazis, based on documented history, did okay.
