The chase that led to Goebbels

Article Abstract:

British historian, David Irving, 54, researches the Third Reich and can readily decipher German manuscripts, so the editor of 'The Sunday Times,' Andrew Neil, sent him to Moscow where it was reputed that German historians had discovered the missing Goebbels diaries. Irving is also a public campaigner, dedicated to discrediting the Holocaust. A Munich Institute historian discovered 92 yellow boxes containing photographic plates of the Goebbels diaries in the Central Government Archives, Moscow, and was granted the right to publish the diaries.

Irving faces Russian ban

Article Abstract:

David Irving may be banned from further research on Goebbel's war diaries in the Russian State Archive because he may have broken their rules. 'The Sunday Times,' who sent Mr Irving to Russia because he was one of very few who can read Goebbel's handwriting, will have the information in the diaries interpreted for historical significance by their columnist, Norman Stone, Professor of Modern History at Oxford, and evaluated for news-worthiness by Peter Millar, freelance correspondent.

Article Abstract:

David Irving, historian and political activist, offered Andrew Neil, editor of 'The Sunday Times' publication of the Goebbels diaries when his New York publisher, Macmillan, turned it down. Irving examined all 1,600 glass plates which store the microfiches and copied some abroad although he only had permission to copy two plates of 45 pages each. Subsequently the paper announced that Irving was merely transcribing the diaries, editorial work would be by Norman Stone.
