Police start inquiry into archives forgery

A criminal investigation into forgeries smuggled into the National Archives began last night, two months after The Daily Telegraph revealed that historical documents relating to Nazi Germany had been tampered with.

In an unprecedented inquiry, Scotland Yard detectives will gather evidence for a prosecution of the forger behind at least 17 documents drawn to the attention of the archives by this newspaper since last July.

The first batch of counterfeit papers uncovered by the Telegraph suggested that Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, was murdered by British intelligence agents in May 1945. They were used to support claims in a book, Himmler's Secret War, by Martin Allen, that the man who implemented Hitler's Final Solution for the Jews of Europe was eliminated with the full knowledge of Winston Churchill and his War Cabinet.

Further inquiry, partly with the help of Dr Audrey Giles, former head of Scotland Yard's Questioned Documents unit, showed other papers had also been forged and slipped into files at the archives' offices in Kew, south-west London.

1. Previous stories earlier this year about corruption in the Archives

suggested that the trail of corruption may point to holocaust denier and bankrupted Nazi-worshipping author David Irving, who was seen off so spectacularly by Dr Deborah Lipstad in the UK libel trial that resulted in Irving's disgrace.

3. one of my students was incredulous at Irving's statement after the trial

Irving has to pay Lipstadt's court costs because he lost

he said he should not have to pay, because if Lipstadt had not defended herself against his charges she would not have incurred any costs?!?!?!?!?!? ......ie,it wasn't HIS fault she defended herself!?!?!?!?!

4. Now this is very interesting.....

Finally the United States is being forced into admitting its version of history is false.....Someone is forcing the United States to admit they accepted nazis or smuggled them in with the help of CIA. Could this blow open the Bush dynasty web?
