Better still get the book.
Telling Lies About Hitler - The Holocaust, History and the David Irving Trial by Richard J. Evans (Verso, 2002, paperback - ISBN 1-85984-417-0).
Apart from the main theme, this book is about how we can tell the difference between truth and lies in history.
An astonishing brief of the historical profession against a fallen practitioner. Evans exhibits a vivid intelligence, clear writing and a bright animated rage (Mark Greif - Times Literary Supplement)
The evidence marshalled by Evans against Irving is devastating (Ian Buruma - The New Yorker)
The tingle of intellectual discovery runs through Evans' methodical demolition of Irving's work ... A classic example of historical research as detective story (Charles Taylor - salon.com)
Evan's is a flat, dull, boring, venal, corrupt conformist who willingly sold his soul to the Devil (David Irving)
