...police attacked the crowd. Militiamen struck indiscriminately, beating an old woman with their sticks and kicking a plump man in work pants who had been knocked down in the melee. Some demonstrators tried to escape into the church. Others were forced into Market Square, where they were doused with ink-blue water fired by water cannons. The blue water had a double purpose: to damage the clothing of the demonstrators and to single them out for later identification and punishment...
...diary excerpts and pronounced them too consistent and too smooth to be credible. "Hitler's handwriting was full of power and force," he said. "It was tormented, impetuous, so that when he wanted to make a point, he would dig his pen into the paper and spread the ink, and when he gets to the end of a sentence, it always falls."

Clearly damaged were the indecisive Trevor-Roper and British Historian David Irving, the only expert to switch from skeptical to an affirmative assessment of the diaries. Irving had earlier interrupted a Stern press conference about the diaries, calling them "pure fabrications" and shouting for tests on the "ink, ink, ink."

...Hitler suffered from a progressive and intermittently acute palsy of both hands, and after 1943 was observed writing only in pencil, not ink as in the diaries. Moreover, he was injured in a July 20, 1944, bombing attempt on his life, and both of his forearms were swollen and swathed in bandages or compresses; yet the diaries include an entry apparently written that day. Historian Irving, in his new translation of The Secret Diaries of Hitler's Doctor, to be published next month, quotes Physician Theo Morell as saying, in a representative entry from...
