David John Cawdell Irving (born March 24, 1938) is a Holocaust denier from the United Kingdom (UK).[1] He has written on the military and political history of World War II, with a focus on Nazi Germany. His works include The Destruction of Dresden (1963), Hitler's War (1977), Churchill's War (1987) and Goebbels: Mastermind of the Third Reich (1996). In his works, he argued that Adolf Hitler did not know of the extermination of Jews or, if he did, opposed it.[2] His works were never taken seriously by mainstream historians.
