Archived from the original on 20 September 2015.David John Cawdell Irving (born 24 March 1938) is an English author and Holocaust denier [1] who has written on the military and political history of World War II, with a focus on Nazi Germany. His works include The Destruction of Dresden (1963), Hitler's War (1977), Churchill's War (1987) and Goebbels: Mastermind of the Third Reich (1996). In his works, he argued that Adolf Hitler did not know of the extermination of Jews, or, if he did, he opposed it.

[93] He described Jewish Holocaust survivors as "liars, psychiatric cases and extortionists." [94] In 1990, Irving said on 5 March that there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz and that "30,000 people at the most were murdered in Auschwitz ... that's about as many as we Englishmen killed in a single night in Hamburg."
