Re: "Göring a biography" by David Irving

Irving is the one who propagated the myth of Dresden, stating bluntly and with no evidence available that US escort fighters strafed the population. He also gave a wantonly distorted number of casualties among civilians.
He sort of wanted to prove that the Western Allies were as savage as the Germans.
His writings must be read with great caution. Caveat emptor, as English-speaking people use to say.

He is not welcome in France where laws are very drastic against the negationists.
