Below we see a short speech by Pulitzer-Prize-winning historian John Toland at the 1990 IHR revisionist conference in June 1990.
He says nothing revisionist, just that he had been raised to hate all Germans… but while researching his book on the famous 1944-45 Battle of the Bulge (Adolf Hitler’s last big offensive in the West), his mind changed.
He had met two top German officers in that battle, General Hasso von Manteuffel (in Bonn, West Germany) and the famous Waffen-SS commando, Colonel Otto Skorczeny (in Madrid, Spain). And from there he met other SS and Waffen-Ss Germans living in Spanish exile under the still-ruling Francisco Franco. And he says that, to his surprise, these Germans — all “evil Nazis” — were great people, friendly and helpful, and also… 100% ….still believed in and revered Adolf Hitler, whom they had known personally.
He says in this speech that he also learned while researching his Battle-of-the-Bulge and Hitler books that all the Hitler-bashing Germans he met (“I was always against that madman…”) were LIARS.
Toland also reveals that major jewish historian Barbara Tuchman berated him for interviewing “Nazis” for his books about “the Nazis”! LOL!
He replied: “It is about objectivity.”
She retorted: “No one is objective.”
Toland fired back at the jewess: “Speak for yourself, Barbara!”
A link to this AH book, which can be borrowed: https://archive.org/details/adolfhitler2volu0002john
Here was a major truth:
Toland was totally correct that both Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop and also Alfred Rosenberg believed we Germans should be very nice, respectful and friendly to the Russians after we invaded in June 1942, offering them some self-rule, and NOT brutally conquering them to colonize and settle the whole place up to the Ural mountains with Germans. And this was the main reason we lost the war, my terrible and stubborn error about Russia.
However, two immense inaccuracies bothered me about this mostly excellent book:
One, in 1976, when John Toland’s book came out, it contained a lot of negativity toward Hitler for, as Toland and others thought, genociding (in gas chambers or with bullets) the fabled six million jews…..
But, to excuse Toland, whom I met at this 1990 conference, Holocaust revisionism was just taking to its wings back then, thanks to books by Prof. Arthur Butz of Chicago, and, over in Germany itself, botanist Thies Christophersen, whom I met, and who had actually worked at Auschwitz growing special plants with the inmates under him to make artificial tire rubber for the German war effort…
So Toland’s Hitler book has this radically erroneous backdrop and assumption that there was a horrific, Holocaustic moral stain on the man….whom historian Toland otherwise portrayed (to the ire of Barbara Tuchman) as having been, frankly, a genius at leadership, organization, public speaking, negotiation, and conciliation, healing many, but not all, schisms in the NSDAP party with charm, respect and affection.
Two, Toland portrays Hitler as having had innumerable arguments and confrontations at military headquarters with his generals, blaming them –sometimes unfairly — as the war went sour. ….
Well, yes, sure, AFTER the war, to avoid the hangman at Nuremberg or, years later, to get a cushy job with the new West German army, the Bundeswehr, many of the fired generals, shamelessly licking enemy/Allied boots, and resentful over being fired for being dilatory and/or defeatist, did claim Hitler had yelled his head off at everyone!
….Oh, and if only that Bohemian [sic] corporal had listened to them, the experts!
Waffen-SS general Léon Degrelle, whose memoirs Margi and I translated, thoroughly debunked THAT myth of Hitler-the-amateur-interfering-with-his-brilliant generals. In fact, ALL the great German military triumphs AND the masterful fighting retreats were due to Adolf Hitler’s originality, revolutionary tactics, and also deep understanding and sympathy for the psychology and morale of the common soldier!
And as for Hitler screaming at his generals, NOPE.
If EVER Hitler had been that way, it would especially have been at the end, down in the Bunker in Berlin in February-May 1945.
But Rochus Misch saw everything from 1940-45 as the telephonist and aide to the Führer, and said the exact opposite about the man — that Hitler almost NEVER raised his voice and never was abusive!
….“Downfall” movie was Jewish garbage; Leon Degrelle on Hitler
I watched “Downfall.” Overall, it was a good movie, although you can pretty much tell when the propaganda creeps in, even without knowing all the details, like when Eva tells [secretary] Traudl [Junge] that she kicks Blondi [Hitler’s Alsatian] and hates the dog.My reaction was “NO WAY!” If my assumption is wrong, please let me know.I was very surprised at the way they portrayed Himmler. I would have expected the actor to make him out to be a raving lunatic, and instead he played him as cool, sophisticated, and intelligent.And of course, they had to put some boobies in the film. I know from what Thomas Goodrich uncovered that that kind of thing did happen, but there really was no need to put it in the movie.It didn’t add anything for anyone who was not aware of what was happening during the last days of the Reich, and for those of us that do know, it wasn’t necessary.Plus, the open drunkenness, smoking and gambling right in the bunker, and somehow everyone knew about it but The Boss, Adolf?Seems like a stretch. I think Adolf ran a tight ship.Anyway, as a movie it was good, but as an historical portrayal, it seems like it’s the best we can expect for this day and age.Maybe someday.I also thought it was funny that they didn’t have [Hitler portrayer] Bruno Ganz wear blue contact lenses. And they made him seem like he was a midget, you know, all Napoleon-complex, of 4’8″.
I replied:
“Downfall” was so inaccurate that Margi walked right out.
1) Hitler was 5’10″/178 cm (my height), not 5’6″ (as in “Downfall”) and was relatively tall for his generation. He was the same height as Goering, who, as we know from his WWI military records, stood 5’10″:
https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=height+hermann+goering&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
2) Hitler never shouted and screamed, even at the end, as his bodyguard and telephonist Rochus Misch testified.
Excerpt:
Misch was disgusted with every Hollywood movie about life in the Bunker.
Misch helped with many films, but despised the film “Downfall” especially because it portrayed Hitler as a short-tempered person, even as a raving maniac with a high-pitched voice who supposedly screamed at and bullied subordinates.
The Last Witness: I was Hitler’s telephone operator, messenger and bodyguard
Among other errors, AH actually had a deep, calm baritone voice in conversation (as do I). Here is a very rare recording of Hitler conversing with Finnish marshal Mannerheim about the huge level of Soviet tank production:
Also, the Bunker (built with the ultimate in “German quality”) never shook from Soviet artillery shells. It was a deep bunker, 200 feet down, and protected by a12-foot-thick concrete and steel roof and eight-foot-thick side walls.
It was as quiet as an art museum.
And equally solid were many other Third Reich bomb-proof bunker roofings.
In 2003, I visited my ancestral Normandy in France.
Of course, I had to see Omaha Beach, where the main American D-Day landing occurred, which unfortunately for us, but to the credit of the Americans, was a magnificent achievement.
At the west end of “Omaha” Beach was a huge German gun emplacement, and the bunker was beyond massive. For two days Allied naval guns had pounded it without causing a single crack.
Here was a huge WWII German u-boat “pen” in Lorient, Brittany shielded by stupendous, bomb-proof roof, and it too held up under the most savage Allied bombing. The French never even tried to dismantle it, and it still stands intact today!
So the idea the Bunker was quaking and shaking from Allied bombs was a lie. It was our final military headquarters, and protected the general staff and the head of state!

In a 2005 Salon.com interview Rochus Misch said (http://www.salon.com/2005/02/21/nazi_3/)
[Interviewer] I’d like to talk a little bit about the new movie portrayal of those last days in the bunker. Have you seen “Downfall”?
Oh, yeah, I’ve seen it. [Laughs heartily.] Dramatic operetta. It’s all so Americanized. All that yelling and screaming; it wasn’t like that down there in the bunker.
The reality — it was a death bunker. Everyone whispered down there. No crazy screaming scene ever happened.
Hitler never yelled?
Well, at least when the generals were down there, discussing military things, they were very quiet. [Downfall”] is just a movie, with all the artistic license of a film. It’s no documentary.
Are there factual discrepancies, so far as you know?
No, no, just everything was so exaggerated.
[ ¦]
Do you have any particular impressions of Hitler that have stayed with you?
Hitler, to me, was always a completely normal person. He spoke completely normally to me. I lived together with him for five years. I only knew him as a wonderfully good boss,right? I could talk with him. He was always satisfied with us.
***
The same is true of John Kennedy, btw, a definite baritone in the speaking voice, though the Oval Office mike was tinny and makes it sound higher.

Was Hitler authoritarian?
No, he was never authoritarian. And we were with him day and night; we knew him. He was never without us, day and night. If he wanted something in the night, if his servant was asleep, he called one of us. If he wanted to be awoken an hour later, or to call Eva, anything. We just had a wonderful boss. We couldn’t have wished for better.
When I was married he had a case of champagne delivered to my house, this one we’re sitting in [gestures to the surrounding rooms].
…..No petulant little twerp could ever rise to power, especially not in Germany
How on earth would an intelligent, proud country like Germany have ever elected, and for twelve years devotedly followed, this fake, hysterical and histrionic Hitler jerk that was portrayed in “Downfall”?
The entire goal of the Jews is to trash any genuine Aryan hero. Thus they are also removing the name of “slaveowner George Washington,” and Thomas Jefferson, and Robert E.Lee, from our public schools!
…..Léon Degrelle on Hitler
Léon Degrelle was a successful Belgian-French fascist author and politician who in 1940, when Germany occupied Belgium, joined the Wehrmacht in August 1941 to fight on the eastern front against the Soviets and later switched with his whole brigade in June 1943 over to the Waffen-SS, rising from corporal to general!
Living in Spanish exile after WWII, he wrote outstanding and bestselling books about his experiences in Belgium, with Hitler, and at the front – and about European history.

Degrelle, left, ended up the most decorated of the 400,000 foreign volunteers in the Waffen-SS. They were guaranteed in writing to only be used on the eastern front.
Knight’s Cross with oak leaves
Margi and I translated for the Barnes Review magazine his entire memoirs, called in French defiantly “Hitler pour mille ans”.

Here is what Léon Degrelle said about Adolf Hitler as a person, and it is totally consistent with what Misch wrote, and what the secretaries and chauffeur Krause also said. In chapter ten, “Hitler, the ladies’ man” (from pages 132-33 of the book), we read:
***
The glow of his eyes did not especially impress me. They did not, as some claim, bore into the depths of my soul. Their flame as not unbearably intense.
*** JdN His eyes were a dark blue (as are mine), a uniquely German eye color
***
Blue, alert, they were simply nice-looking; their gaze powerful.
But they did not seek to intimidate or even to seduce, much less to ingratiate. You could look him right in the face, intently, without feeling that he was invading your soul, or that you were disturbing him in the least.
Likewise for the famous “emanations.” Some old fools like Princess Helen of Romania have written that when Hitler shook your hand his fingers “sent an electric charge through you.”
Hitler’s hands did not squeeze very hard, and his handshake was soft. As a matter of fact, especially with close friends, Hitler did not shake hands at all, but pressed your hand between his two hands.
I never felt myself pierced to the core by his touch. I never leapt into the air as from a jolt of electricity.
Hitler was very simple, and very well-groomed. His ears did always astonish me- they shone like pink shells.
He did not pretend to be a playboy, believe me. His clothes were always carefully pressed; it is hard to say much more about them. His military dress was always the same, without any embellishment whatsoever. His shoe size was [European] 43 [which is American size 10, mine as well, and normal for a man who was 5’10″/179 cm — JdN].
One night when I came to see him [from the eastern front], dressed in Russian felt boots, he went to his closet, got out for me a pair of proper boots, and put a bit of newspaper in the toe so I would not swim around in them, since I wore a slightly smaller size 42. This details shows you how unpretentious the man was.
From chapter 11, “Hitler the man” (pages 144-146)
(Degrelle goes first into how focused Hitler was, how he would cut to the essentials quickly, discussed his phenomenal memory for details, and then his willpower and inventiveness.)
He is depicted as a crazy savage, rolling around in fury on the floor, ferociously sinking his teeth into the carpets.
*** JdN: This carpet-chewing detail comes from the half-Jewish liar, Konrad Heiden (photo), who is now totally discredited even for the Establishment, and so is the Herman Rauschning slander.
Rauschning’s Conversations with Hitler of 1939 are now dismissed as lies even by Jewish historians. It turned out, in fact, that neither man spent any serious time at all with the Führer, and thus had no long “conversations” with him.
***
Personally, I cannot visualize this mandibular exploit [of “chewing the carpet”] with Hitler. I spent many days and nights near Hitler.
Never did I witness these “tantrums”, so frequently claimed.
[…] That Hitler might sometimes get angry is not inconceivable. It is al the more understandable given the plethora of sources of irritation: imbecilic generals who did not understand anything, who retreated when ordered forward, who did not obey orders, or who even sabotaged them, collaborators with the enemy who lied, vital war production schedules that were not met, setbacks that fell upon the Reich from all sides, and lethal traitors in his entourage.
But even then, Hitler, remarkably, was generally capable of remaining perfectly calm.
I remember an entirely typical case. One afternoon in the fall of 1944, I was visiting Hitler, having arrived with Heinrich Himmler in his long green car.
We were having tea when, all at once, astounding news fell like a thunderclap in our midst. British airborne divisions had successfully parachuted into Holland behind the Germans, in Arnheim, close to Nijmegen.
*** JdN: This was British Field Marshall Montgomery’s disastrous “Operation Market Garden,” the subject of a 1977 Hollywood movie with an all-star cast called “A Bridge Too Far.” http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1rks41_a-bridge-too-far-1977-full-movie_shortfilms The Brits fell right onto a resting German SS panzer division.
***
This meant that Hitler’s whole system of defense in the west was in trouble, and the access to the Ruhr [JdN: a huge manufacturing and war-production area] was threatened in an immediate and direct fashion.
Since then, it has been claimed that a Dutch traitor within the Resistance had informed the Germans of this British plan in advance. That would have made the annihilation of these British divisions possible within a few days. It is a lie, one more lie, like so many others since 1945. I can say this since I was there when the news was announced to Hitler and Himmler. It stunned them.
But I also saw what came afterward.
…Hitler recovering within two minutes. convening his officer staff, analyzing the situation for two hours while going over the facts in his head — and then, in the general silence, dictating his orders slowly and without raising his voice.
It was impeccable and magnificent.
He finished — and asked for hot tea to be served. And until midnight, having shut his mental drawer of war matters, he spoke to me about laissez-faire capitalism.
I assure you that he did not eat any mouthfuls of the carpet. He even joked a little; then he left quietly, slightly stooped, to go for a walk under the pines with his dog, Blondi.
Not only were these stories of Hitler’ violent rages a myth, but he was, in fact, a sensitive man, given to considerate actions.
I saw him prepare sandwiches for one of his associates who was about to leave on a combat mission. One night in camp when I was talking with Field Marshal [Wilhelm] Keitel…..
[Hitler] appeared suddenly, the teetotaler, bringing us a bottle of champagne to enliven our conversation. Contrary to what everyone says, he was in fact a moderate person.
[end of Degrelle excerpt]
.
So, Toland’s book was very good except for all the lies he initially trusted about the Holocaust and Hitler being a hot-tempered tyrant.
As Toland himself says, all the Germans whom he interviewed that bashed Hitler turned out to be liars!
And now I must fight for our race again.
.
.
JdN, these articles are pure gold.
Future generations wil read them and understand that the elites constantly lie to them as herd control. The Jews and banking elites don’t like the truth, and that’s why our sites are constantly attacked 24/7.
Operation Market Garden , if successful, would’ve seen the British and Canadians enter the industrial Ruhr area and stop German war production, thus ending the war six months early.
Eisenhower wanted a broad front to destroy the enemy in the field, with high casualties on both sides. “Monty” wanted to stop the Germans from fighting, due lack of arms, and thus lower casualties.
It was a political decision not to seize Berlin that stopped the western allies from getting to Berlin first.
The shape of Europe was already decided at Teheran.
Allied press officers were forbidden to ask about idiotic American offensives about Metz or the Hürtgen Forest debacle.
And now look at the third-world shitholes white lands have become due to the diversity that began after 1945.
Hitler warned about the ” Asiatic Bolshevik hordes from the East” invading Europe.
Today they are black, browns and poor, sent by the Zionists like Soros and a Dr Alan Shatter oer Barbara Lerner Spectre.
They really hate us.
Just bought a Toland book on Hitler from an estate sale, seemed positive from a first glance till I got home and found a portion of the book jacket inside ..quote, The figure that emerges from these pages is in many ways more frightening than the traditional demonic caricature- for Toland has given the demon a human face- UGH Thanks for your review, I will read this book and as always disregard all the jewish fairytales and jewish characteristics transferred onto Hitler
Ahh, yes, the demon who seemed so human. 😉
