|4 Mar 1980
|Letter P to Brandon (IHR): "I did hear about your last years convention and, of course, it attracted my interest... ... I would have to condition my acceptance of your very kind invitation on knowing who else would participate. Of course, I have no desire to limit your own scope, but for reasons you will probably perceive I cannot speak on the same platform as for example Walendy or Butz. This is pure Realpolitik on my part. I am already dangerously exposed and I cannot take the chance of being caught in Flak meant for others."
|12 Mar 1980
|Letter Brandon (IHR) to P: "I also understand that you recently met up with our good friends from Historical Review Press, and also our supporters from the League of St George. We keep in very close touch with developments over there"
|9 July 1980
|Letter P to Brandon (IHR): "I am sorry we were not able to reach any definitive decision on your 1980 convention. Perhaps in 1981 e can do something".

|Diary: visits to Carto at offices of Liberty Lobby and Spotlight; Carto described as "A typical small time fascist". "I stressed how important it is for me to keep my image clean as at present I am still allowed into the media while the opposition is trying everything to keep me off it. He indicated that there are ties between the Liberty Lobby and the [IHR]... I expressed disapproval of that, saying that the [IHR] called down unnecessary fire on our own lines".
|30 May 1981
|Letter Mark Weber (IHR) to P enclosing outline of Weber's forthcoming book "The Final Solution: Legend and Reality". Weber mentions P's "conditional agreement to write a foreword to the book".

The photographs are to include an 'unflattering' one of Anne Frank (p16).
|30 July 1981

|Letter P to Marcellus (IHR): the February 1989 conference "sounds very tempting, but you know what the problems for me would be. If I were to commit Hara-Kiri like this, I should have to haggle with you for a much larger fee."
|24 June 1988
|Letter P to Carto (IHR): accepting the IHR's new offer of terms for the February convention "provided that my New York publishers, William Morrow Inc., do not voice objections, as well they may; since they have paid $100,000 for my latest book, I obviously have to take care not to irritate them."

|20 June 1991
|Letter Marcellus (IHR) to P: P had confirmed that he did not
expect Marcellus to excise from the tapes "that whole electrifying
'off the record' section on Battleship Auschwitz"; in Weber's view,
it was "undoubtedly the most thrilling aspect of your appearance as
evidenced by the positive audience response to your remarks. So
yes, that humorous comment about the A... is on the videotapes and
audiotapes that we have been selling.... ... However, as you know,
the "Battleship Auschwitz" segment that was printed in the .. [JHR]

|Letter P to Butz thanking him for the "unexpected" letter of 17 June. "I have to admit that the documents I saw to Toronto shattered several of my former beliefs.

|Letter Butz to Smith (IHR) enclosing P's letter to "Summer Northwestern", I am glad that Irving has sought to put Hayes on the spot like this, and I now attach more importance to this letter than I did at first.

However that is between you and Irving,"

I suggested he now contact Aleta Daley in New York.' P speaks with Duke later, who had been contacted by Aleta Daley; 'His self esteem is restored. I ask about access to his mailing list.

[...] / A word about Harburg - you will understand my behaviour a little better after Lentförden. Naturally I have known you long enough to know that you would bring the television with you to the meeting you to the meeting place in Harburg in th end. Otherwise you would not be David Irving. It was clear beforehand, that the owner, even if with great reservation, would allow the television into the pub [...] / On the other hand the meeting with you was a closed meeting. Let's imagine there had been somebody in the hall, or had arrived, from the authorities. Then he would have been able, with the appropriate order in his pocket, to immediately dissolve the meeting if the television had been in the hall from the start or it had been recognisable that they would have come in. In judicial German it would have then 'been produced for the public' and a closed, private meeting would have become a public one and that one would have certainly banned. Therefore also the evasion in the last ten minutes. / To explain all of this to you would have been too long-winded in Harburg. This is why I acted as I did and did not let the television into the anteroom. / [...] You are an indescribable positive factor for our country! which we seek to serve in our way. Enough compliments?'

' Thus for example K[arl] P[hilipp] has managed to incite Gen[eral] Remer and--p1sumably [erd]Honsik agains1 me. They in turn have managed to stir things up,more wilh their naive innocence and 1heir good reputation- (you know how much I value Remer and Honsik).'Furlher 'Perhaps one would have got somewhere if we had been a11he meeling. There were a lot of people 1here upon whose supporlive assislance I could have hoped. Bu1 Karl Philipp, who knew 1ha1 you were coming because I was stupid enough to register you as a guest as required, lied to you that I wanted to use you to break up the event. You believed him and cancelled with me. So Philipp could tell people Althans is a liar, even David Irving doesn't like him and therefore doesn't come to the conference. And, as expected, I alone received no invitation.,

Dr. Shaller and Prof Faurisson were able to speak unhindered. That was a masterpiece by Meinolf Schonborn and his people. We should take it in mind to do something with him in late Autumn. He is really a soldier and everything goes off with military discipline and according to military organisation. He has almost 400 young people around him who follow his commands .,

|1 Jan 1990
|Letter Worch to Zündel.'I am convinced that 1990 and the whole nineties will be better for our people as the last four-and-half decades, but I also hope that it will be a better decade for all our comrades.' Informs Zündel that although the media have identified 1,100 "'neo-Nazis"' in fonner East Gennany, only 10 or 20% have 'really earned 'this classification' according to 'our West German standards '. Raises his concerns about P's March appearance after P's 'small "'fauxpas"' in Hagenau ' ...when he had to bring up these stories about the Riga shootings. But Ewald [ Althans ] explained to me that Irving has a choice of two presentations on this tour, with which we don't have to reckon with such irritating details for our listeners.[...] Naturally clearly more agreeable than the presentation in Hagenau!' Worch makes clear how pleased he is to have engaged P: ' DM 1,000 for the speaker and DM 300 for the organiser seems to me decidedly cheap. It is worth double or triple the amount to me.' Concerning Althans's homosexuality, Worch informs Zündel that from his' experience in the discussions around Michael Kuhnen I know only too well that it is important to quickly and decisively nip the rumour- mongering in the bud.

|Letter Worch to P outlining and enclosing security measures for the meeting. Informs P that he is hosting meeting as a private individual although invitations have been extended in the name of the NL.' Mr Althans also implied that you have been, so to say, warned about me, perhaps also because ofmy contact to Mr [Michael] Kuhnen. Naturally I had (and have) close connections to Mr Kühnen, just as I have connections to Mr Zündel, Mr Christophersen, Mr Althans,and many other and many other politically interesled and active people. For me is not important if someone is considered a 'pariah',rather if he means it honestly.That is more important to me than the question than if one person or another has made mistakes or enjoys negative pubillicity.
|3 Mar 1990
|Diary: P describes NL meeting:'Rumours come that tonight there is to be much violence, etc., and Munier persuades me to cancel the Nationale Lisle meeting -since (a) the press has got wind of it, and (b) Michael Kühnen is to be present; and to attend only the Burschenschaft Germania meeting later in the evening. This evoked consternation, then comprehension, in Althans,....Zündel(!)(in Toronto!) is somehow eingeschaltet [brought in]. I drove to Hamburg.... Meanwhile Althans phoned from the NL venue, the Alte Mühle, insisting that I attend the NL function, major crowd there, 300, no trouble, no police, no problems. So I drove out there at speed, made a rousing speech, which was very well received, then zipped on to the Burschenschaft Germania.... There were surly faces against me at the NL meeting when I arrived. An attractive girl, 25 (who turned out to be Christian Worch's wife), snarled at me that I had 'disappointed' her by my earlier stance this day. But at the end of the meeting all were pleased. It was a good speech --knorke [super],I think my current biographical subject [Goebbels] would say.'

As most of the active revisionists of today were still concearning themselves with their bourgeoise careers or at the most once a year attended the large rallies of the DVU or got together at the weekly back-room regulars. tables of the NPD, it was Michael Kühnen who. together with the sadly in the mean-time dead Erwin Schonborn, put his men in donkey masks in 1978 and armed them with placards which read 'I am an ass and still believe that.Jews were gassed in Auschwitz ' and demonstrated in the Hamburg city centre ...(where he like myself was promptly sentenced to a few months imprisonment.),

|24 July 1986
|Diary: 'Sat in the sun for a long time reading the IHR Journal.More out of curiosity at first. Faurisson's paper on Auschwitz setme thinking very hard. As 1 pointed to SSG a month ago, we have heaps of photos and eye witnesses of the Dresden holocaust: not one of an Auschwitz gas chamber, etc. As Faurisson writes, it's a bit thick that all the Reich-based 'gas chambers' were in 1959 (?) found to have been fakes or non existent by the West German government, (i.e. Dachau, Bergen Belsen, Buchenwald, etc) but we are being led to believe, on the flimsiest evidence (Gerstein report etc) that those at Auschwitz, Belzec, etc were real. His lawyer used a neat word for them: the 'metaphorical' gas chambers of Auschwitz. I hope I am never asked what 1 believe in public. I would now have to waver and cavil and dissect the meanings of words (Ausrottung, Vergasung). It is not an argument to get embroiled in.'

Faurisson complains that he and P had not met in Los Angeles, and outlines criticisms of P's claims that the British invented the 'gas chamber lie'.'If he really claims that he himself discovered that the British are responsible more than any other for the lie, he is wrong. [ ...] We know, at least since 1956, the story of the British F.O. trying to STOP the lie in August 1943. [...] Anyway, when one studies the history or the historiography of the Big Lie, it does not appear that the British have any special responsibility: they haVt' none in the invention itself (chronology shows it), and they have less responsibility than the Americans in the success of the lie. [...] We must not say that we have discovered documents that in fact "they" had disclosed ten or twenty years ago and already accommodated on their cabalistic way.'

|27 Nov 1990
|Letter Faurisson to P, explaining that he had not given Hinsley prominence 'Because "they" always say that "of course" the Germans were not so stupid as to use the words indicating that people were killed by gas. As I told you, I think we used Hinsley's remark at least in 1988 and perhaps also, before that, in 1985.'

I suppose you know that, thanks to General Remer and Karl Philipp, the dam is breaking in Germany with the 500 signatures ("we demand...1 ). [...] The Police (Renseignements Generauux) and the TV (with the film of Michael Schmidt showing you and 1 in Hagenau in 1989) have co-ordinated a big media operation against us.

|Fax Faurisson to P offering details about 'the Eichmann topic' following P's 'alleged retraction -after -having -read- the - Eichmann -"memoirs ". ' Faurisson argues that Eichmann had never seen a gas chamber and' being rather naive and gullible' he believed what had been written after the war.

|Fax P to Faurisson regarding P's Eichmann papers. 'I have also stressed that E's version of what Heydrich said: " Ich komme vom Reichs.führer,. der Fuhrer hat die physische Vernichtung der Juden angeordnet ", is interesting but but Horensagen [hearsay] not zulüssig [pennissible] in not even an Amstgericht [Regional Court] as evidence. It shows what Eichmann believed, not what was necessarily true. Also, I have stressed that despite his many visits to Auschwitz he never saw a gas chamber I agree: he swallowed a lot of what he read in Reitlinger, Poliakov, etc. I propose to discuss this at the next IHR, if I am invited But: it is useful publicity. because it brings the whole controversy out into the open. Today, ten newspapers, three television stations, BBC radio etc. How else can we "purchase " publicity for our real arguments?!'
|12 Jan 1992
|Fax Faurisson to P, thanking him for his comments on the Eicbmann papers and the enclosed newspaper articles.'Of course, if the citations in your speech were correct and even if they had been accompanied by some restrictions or nuances not mentioned here by the journalists, I would have to say that L for one, consider the whole matter as terrible. Have you sent any fax to those newspapers to say what you are telling me in your fax about Eichmann "only [hersay1", "not permitted even in a court as evidence","never seen a gas chamber" 'Faurisson adds: 'Please remember what I tol you in London about what you had written on Major General Walther Bruns!'

You tire"performing a splendid job [...1 As I told you in Munich in March 1991 "A Revisionist must be ready for one bad piece of news a day and one humiliation a week".

|Fax P to Faurisson replying to Faurisson's fax. of 7 December; 'At present, as you are aware, we are coming under worldwide attack because of our refusal to bow to pressure or change our opinions on matters of history without acceptab'e proof This fight, this Endkampf[final battle] by our desperate traditional enemy, is now taking an ugly shape, and the important thing is to avoid being engulfed by the flames ourselves.' '[...] I issued an immediate denial. If Mr Rami does not like it, then he must write to me in person and tell me. At present, I have to confess, I am speechless with anger at him. Nobody is entitled to use my name without my permission. Meanwhile, "The Fight Goes On --To Final Victory!"'
|9 Dec 1992
|Fax Faurisson to P; 'Now let me tell you that the gentleman [Rami] was hurt by the fact that, before calling him a liar in a letter sent to his own worst enemy (certainly not deserving the esteem you expressed), you had not phoned him as, for example, you had done in November 1991 when he was in a hotel in London before your conference at Chelsea Town Hall. [...] Permit me to reiterate my wish: I do think that a gentleman like A. Rami deserves a nice letter from you.'

Schleiter declares that she is surprised that P , should use such words towards people you owe everything you know about revisionism. [ ...] You ought not to forget that you owe a lot to those II buddies II and I don't think it is correct of you not to pay homage to them. I do hope you will agree with me. ' Schleiter adds a post script: ' I admire a lot Mr Butz, but let me tell you one thing: if it had not been for Robert Faurisson and the tremendous ., .fight he started in i 97 4, Mr. Butz's books would still-be sleeping on the shelves of some American people's libraries, and you would still believe in the gas chambers.'
|15 Jan 1994
|Letter P to Schleiter, expressing his sorrow that Faurisson has "'misunderstood the word I'buddies" in English. [...] Nobody can deny the quality of the work that Robert has done.

It is a mistake to say that we point to " a style too adult for even the most precocious Ihirteen- year old girl ". i always avoid that kind of argument which is too flimsy.

|5 Oct 1994
|Faurisson to P, enclosing an article in The Nation and Faurisson's response. including passages on P's views on the testimony of Gen Wa1ter Bruns at Riga. In Faurisson's reply he states that P ...does not want to btassimiJated to Faurisson; "the devil" as he put it. He tries his best to keep some distance although he is on our side.Do you really think he believes what he said on Generalmajor Walther Bruns (on Eichmann, on Goebbels, on the gas chambers being an invention of the British (!) propaganda)? Let me take the example of Bruns. In November 1991, when I was at Irving's home in London, I made him aware, thanks to his own documents that I had asked him to look at, that Bruns , "confession " (? ) was typical of the " confessions " collected by the British: it was the usual stereotypes. I showed him what, in another document, the British had said about Bruns: he " had been relieved ofhis command" by the Germans, he was "antinazi" and he was "eager to cooperate with the Allies". Now, guess what D. Irving told me then spontaneously: "Anyway, later on, at a trial, Bruns said that he had in fact not been an eyewitness. " Draw your own conclusions.'
|21 Feb 1995
|Letter Faurisson to P, regarding the article by Eric Conan ' Tout yest faza' [Everything there is false] about the Auschwitz gas chambers. ' One thing I would like to make clear for you and that I.. wish you to repeat everywhere is that, in fact, this admission of E. Conan only confirms what Faurisson had discovered in 1976 and kept repeating in books, articles, videos and even on the witness stand [ ...] Mr. Irving, do you realize what it means for a searcher who has been working so hard for so many years, who has been insulted and heavily sentenced, to see a young American Jew [David Cole] coming in and stealing his discovery and making money and publicity out of it? I always thought that one day the Jews would come maintaining that the " Holocaust " of course existed but that the " gas chambers "were a German lie invented to frighten the poor Jews, or a Russian lie, or a Polish lie, or a Communist lie. Please, set the record straight. , Faurisson also asks P to clarify the discrepancy between the sources P cites in Action Report for the figures for coke consumption in the crematoria at Auschwitz.
|6 Mar 1995
|Letter Faurisson to P enclosing letters of Hans MUnich. ' There are no objections to Munch 's story e.g.,why did the funeral pyres notshow up on the air photos.

|28 Nov 1995
|Letter P to Faurisson, stating that he thinks Searchlight 'has edited that radio interview of mine in Australia to fake what 1 actually said What 1 actually said, when asked how many Jews died in world war IJ, was that from all causes, from start to finish, the figure might have been as many as four million-including air raids, forced marches, starvation, disease, epidemics, old age.'P encloses a diary entry for the day saying that in the Australian interview he 'straightened him [the interviewer] out that 1 am not a " denier" as claimed.'
|1 Dec 1995
|Fax Faurisson to P expressing concern that P had given a figure of the nwnber of Jewish dead to be 4 million; 'Such an "admission" or statement is a very serious one.'Faurisson criticises Irving for his insistence that he is not a denier because, although F aurisson argues that 'we affirm that there was no German policy of exterminating the Jews [ ...] 1 am afraid that what you mean by not being a "denier" is that Faurisson and Co are "deniers" whereas .. you are definitely not a "denier" wrong?'
|Aug 1996

|29 Jan 1997
|Letter P to Faurisson explaining that Mrs Peck no longer lived at the address as printed in his Action Report and therefore nobody was endangered. '...you have few greater admirers of your courage than me.'P corrects Faurisson's whitewashing of Hoss's conduct, by reminding him that Hoss was, after all, commandant of 'one of the most horrific slave labour camps in Europe.' P encloses his book Nuremberg -The Last Battle, and 'treats' Faurisson to an overview of his action against Penguin Books and Professor Lipstadt.'Apart from the occasional sniping from you Robert, the fight is very rewarding, in the spiritual sense: an intellectual crusade against powerful, wealthy, and evil forces trying to crush Real History.'

|20 Sept 1984
|Letter Zündelto P disputing his belief that localised, ad hoc massacres took place, and expressing interest in P's ideas. ' After all, 5.1 million Jews, plus 5 million or so allegedly murdered Goyim represents an awful lot of back alley assasinations and ad hoc decisions of the moment. ...I would certainly not object to your substantiation of this new Holocaust Thesis in court. Remember, I am stating that no Jews were gassed in German concentration camps and that no six millions Jews were ever killed by German authority .

'I was met at the airport however. not by [Paul] Fromm but to my initial dismay by Ernst Zündel and his sidekick Jurgen---I don't need to emphasize what damage it would do to my image to be photographed with Herr Zündel with whom I have had no previous contact whatsoever.

|21 May 1986
|Letter Zündel to P explaining that the lack of media at P's meeting in Toronto was due to Zündel's absence.

Zündel. praises P's presentability as well as credibility , and urges him to Increase the readership and commercial success of his books and historical research findings by branching into the videocassette field. Zündel states '...I am basically an advertising man. I make no claim to being a great writer or researcher. I am, at best. a populariser and promoter of ideas.Zündel adds 'It seems to me a great pity that you appear to labour almost alone. With your great knowledge and your ability to communicate. I think it is a crime that you must look after niggling details and put up with others. incompetence. over which you have no control.

We found that this type of testimony appeared to have a profoundly negative effect on the jury. It become extremely damaging to my defence when my own witnesses, while appearing and testifying on my behalf, neverthless agree with the Holocaust story and express " distaste " for my own writings. I feel I can no longer afford to have any witness, particularly an eminent historian and public speaker such as yourself, testifying to extremely important matters, but nevertheless. in the final analysis agreeing with the Crown that " It really did happen.",Zündel requests P's assurance that' if you do testify you will state either that you have done no primary research into this area and cannot give an expert opinion or that what research you have done indicates major problems with the Holocaust story. If you feel you cannot in all honesty give either of these two answers, then I believe that your testimony would be too damaging for me.'Zündel also mentions P's fees for his appearance as an expert witness, and adds' P.S can we help you with a bookpromo?'

|Letter Zündel to p regarding a 'combined operation' between Karl Philipp, Zündel and P to persuade the media-cowards of Berlin to lift their ban on your appearance, so that you will have a programme after all.

|Letter Zündel to P outlining Zündel' s difficulties with German original of P's November. Zündel makes clear to P what he intends WIth a republIcatIon of P s book. ..as long as the Nuremberg Trial Travesty stands, the Holocaust Hoax is supported by the full weight of Allied complicity. [...] Truth is indivisible, so we must aim for 8total, not partial, revisionism by including Nuremberg as well as the " Kosher Conflagration " in our research and our publications. ' The book 'like " Did Six Million Really Die ", would be at the forefront of controversy, academic debate, media-sensationalism and very likely, court room proceedings.' To this end, Zündel urges P to 'attribute quotes and cite sources with numbered footnotes ...so that it may be treated as a work of history and not dismissed by its detractors as some sort of "novel". ' Zündel expresses a hope that P con remove anti-German hate propaganda...in the interests of "total revisionism " as you will now have a more truth-Ioving and sympathetic publisher, so there is no fi,rther need to engage in Occupation German-style ersatz or phony revisionism. ' Zündel suggests that P include biographical sketches of major Nuremberg officials, thus allowing the reader to place this event in its proper context: that of a Purimfest with some shabbes-goyim presiding as figureheads; trulyan " advance towards barbarism "!'

Further, I have studied Adolf Biller more in depth.
