...wealth while recasting history. The editors of the West German photo-weekly Stern had on April 22 dramatically announced the astounding discovery of 62 volumes of Adolf Hitler's alleged long-secret diaries. Bound in black imitation-leather covers, the magazine-size books purported to chronicle the Nazi F�hrer's years from 1932 to 1945. Hailed by Stern as "the journalistic scoop of the post-World War II period," the diaries were offered to other publications for serialization at up to $3 million. Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., the parent company of London's Sunday Times, agreed...

Both the diaries and Domarus had General Franz Ritter Von Epp congratulating Hitler in 1937 on his 50th anniversary in army service, when the dictator was only 48 years old; the F�hrer had actually praised Von Epp for his 50 years in the Army.

Pulitzer-Prizewinning Historian John Toland concurred with Irving's disbelief. Said Toland: "Witnesses refer to 'Hitler's right hand, which is useless...
...Nine made the trip safely; the tenth, flying in radio silence for security reasons, crashed. At least two people who were on the scene believe that the downed plane carried Hitler's personal papers. According to the Nazi leader's personal pilot, Hans Baur, the Führer was enraged when he learned of the crash: "That was to be my testimony for posterity." Heidemann, by routine checking on the grave sites of former military aides, learned that the pilot was buried in Bornersdorf, near Dresden, in what is now East Germany. There Heidemann found the grave...
