Original Note:
Irving was not a historian & held no degrees in history from any institution. An English court ruled he was an active Holocaust denier, antisemite & racist who "for his own ideological reasons persistently & deliberately misrepresented & manipulated historical evidence". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Irving https://www.theguardian.com/books/2000/apr/12/irving.uk1 https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/david-irving
