- No revised version of Hitler's War has been published and registered
- with the library of congress. I have never seen any quotes from
- later books that revise Irving's beliefs. I have invited the
- BCPU people to find some quotes, but all that can say is
- "He changed his mind" (i.e. he now denies the Holocaust). From
- what the NY TImes said, I don't think that is true. In fact,
- the latest report is that because of the Goebbels' diaries he
- is reconsidering his view about Hitler knowing about the holocaust.
- (I.e. Hitler knew about it.)
