Dear Answerman: You will find my question combative, no doubt, but I'm curious, nevertheless: At the Wannssee Conference, the Jews were specifically referred to as “the enemy,” and plans were undertaken to remove them to the east.

Is David Irving a legitimate historian or a Holocaust denier? The answer may be: both. Irving does not have a college degree and has never been a part of academia, but his books about Nazi Germany have attracted praise from mainstream historians. His 1977 book, Hitler's War, was widely applauded, though many critics were concerned…
