Historian urges ink anaylsis
to end dispute over diaries
United Press International
LONDON — British historian
David Irving, who had angrily
denounced the Adolf Hitler
diaries as frauds, now believes
most of the disputed documents
are authentic and has urged an
ink analysis to settle the con
troversy.
Irving said Monday he
changed his mind after deciding
the cramped, downward sloping
handwriting in the diaries sup
ported his discovery Adolf Hit-

ler suffered Parkinson’s disease.
“The Parkinsonism was really
the clinching point,” he said.
“The writing was sloping down
wards, regardless of the page
ruling and the script got smaller
from left to right. I do not be
lieve a forger could have known
this.”
Irving plans to publish a book
later in the year based on the
diaries of the Nazi leader’s doc
tor, which Irving said reveal pre
viously unknown information
about Hitler’s health.
“It wasn’t generally known
Hitler was suffering from Par
kinson’s disease toward the end
of his life,” Irving said. “People
suffering from Parkinsonism
tend to write smaller and they go
along a page and they slope the
lines downwards.”
Irving urged the West Ger
man magazine Stern, which is
publishing the documents, to
conduct a scientific analysis of
the ink to determine whether
they are genuine.
Earlier, another British histo
rian, Sir Hugh Trevor-Roper,
who last week reversed his initial
judgment the documents were
authentic, said he was not
swayed by Irving’s revelations.
“I still have doubts,” he said.
Irving refused to vouch for
all the documents, saying he be
lieved some papers found with
the diaries were forgeries. He
also does not believe the docu
ments were rescued from a
crashed aircraft in East Ger
many as Stern claims.
