It's interesting to watch people who think they are so intelligent and discerning about history, propaganda, etc. fall for the most basic and elementary sales tactics. In regard to a sales hook, or simply the laws of supply and demand, people remain prone to falling for "secret" information, or since it claims to be suppressed, censored, or controversial, it MUST be true. This defies logic, but human psychology isn't about logic, it's about emotion.
Irving knew this, it was his style and how he captivated an audience. Academic criticism of his work only makes his audience defensive of him. His career is better as a case study in psychology than it is history. He was a great salesman who knew his customers.

@paulmarren7970 You're not following... Irving made Holo caust denial statements, he made rac ist statements, so she referred to him as such in her book. He sued her for libel, his speeches, lectures, interviews, jokes, articles, etc. were referenced and it was proven that he was what she said he was. He was a denier at the time and remains a ra cist.
When you freely make comments of that nature in public, often, on the record, and someone calls you out on it, its not wise to try and capitalize on libel when you're guilty. Irving found that out the hard way.

@reichstreu3362 In regard to "Eisenhower's Death Camps". If you support that theory, how do you account for Wehrmacht MIA distribution? To mean, the Wehrmacht unit and personnel records track last known whereabouts of missing personnel, of which we know how many went missing, on what front and when. If 1.1 million remain MIA on the Eastern Front and 41,000 in the West, what front is the "missing million" located? Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXTGfG3mlXA at the 4:45 to 5:20 mark. And also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WpAMCD1jHo at 2:10
Each Wehrmacht Soldier, living or dead, has a unit personnel file with their status, deceased (when, where, where buried), alive (current address) Missing (last known whereabouts, any efforts to locate, family requests, etc.).
Where does this information factor in your belief or faith in "Eisenhower's Death Camps" since it clearly demonstrates that there was no mass death there. You know?...no bodies ever found, not even pics of bodies or even starving men?

There is much mention of better trained officers coming out of the academies/schoolhouses to replace older officers of the Civil War era. First of all, an officer coming out of an academy or schoolhouse is a STUDENT being thrown into a position of leadership without the luxury of a Western style NCO cadre to lean on. They know the schoolhouse process, solution, etc. and that's it. According to COL David Glantz, most of them came into a situation where there weren't enough officers to keep up with the overly rapid expansion of the Red Army, so most were put into levels of command one or two levels higher than what they were trained for. You cannot assume that a schoolhouse adequately trains an officer to be proficient at their job, that is actually rare even in Western armies.
Now picture a freshly trained student/officer taking command at a level above his training with a unit lacking manpower, specialists, equipment, and training, then being thrown into combat against an enemy that is far superior. That kind of explains what happened in 1941, no?
