Talk:Last will and testament of Adolf Hitler

message: Is there a better word to use for this category?  I dont think those facts are trivial, but are definitely worth noting.
How about miscellaneous facts or simply miscellaneous? That sounds more useful than trivia, I think. Any thoughts?

message: Does anyone know if "The Political Testament Of Adolf Hitler(http://www.globusz.com/ebooks/Testament/00000010.htm)" is genuine, and if so, if it's related to the "Last will and testament of Adolf Hitler"?
According to David Irving the Last Testament of Adolf Hitler is a forgery by Francois Genoud.  Whether it is the same as what is discussed in this Wikipedia article is something that I am trying to determine myself.Hadding (talk) 21:42, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: See the article on David Irving and the outcome of the Libel suit David Irving v. Penguin Books and Deborah Lipstadt Mr. Justice Gray concluded "Irving has for his own ideological reasons persistently and deliberately misrepresented and manipulated historical evidence". Allegations by Irving do not warrant further investigation. -- PBS (talk) 09:18, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Regarding the Testament itself, maybe you should read this page. And, you really shouldn't be so selective in your quotes because Mr. Justice Gray also stated on April 11, 2000: "As a military historian, Irving has much to commend him. For his works of military history Irving has undertaken thorough and painstaking research into the archives. He has discovered and disclosed to historians and others many documents which, but for his efforts, might have remained unnoticed for years. It was plain from the way in which he conducted his case and dealt with a sustained and penetrating cross-examination that his knowledge of World War 2 is unparalleled. His mastery of the detail of the historical documents is remarkable. He is beyond question able and intelligent. He was invariably quick to spot the significance of documents which he had not previously seen. Moreover he writes his military history in a clear and vivid style. I accept the favourable assessment by Professor Watt and Sir John Keegan of the calibre of Irving's military history (mentioned in paragraph 3.4 above) and reject as too sweeping the negative assessment of Evans (quoted in paragraph 3.5). But the questions to which this action has given rise do not relate to the quality of Irving's military history but rather to the manner in which he has written about the attitude adopted by Hitler towards the Jews and in particular his responsibility for the fate which befell them under the Nazi regime."

text: It appears that there are two entirely separate documents with confusingly similar names.  On the one hand there's the last will and testament, which includes a political testament.  On the other hand there's the "testament of Adolf Hitler."  The latter document is the one that Irving alleged Genoud had forged.  There seems little point in this article discussing that document in any detail, but maybe there should be a sentence or two distinguishing the two documents.

thread_title: The Political Testament Of Adolf Hitler

message: The Last Will and Testamemt of Adolf Hitler, referenced in the further reading section, is a white supremecist publication. Just a few moments into the introduction I'd read about the great mind of Adolf Hitler and the anti-Christ Jews. There must be a more appropriate link to the text of the document.... user: PurpleChez 6/19/14
::I think its clear this is the forgery discussed above. Not really relevant to the article and certainly needs a better description. I'll check back in a while and if no one has cleaned this up, I will have a go. Testbed (talk) 16:52, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

message: In addition to this source,Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression, Government Printing Office, Washington, 1946-1948, vol. VI, pg. 259-260. it is even noted in the WikiSource page cited in this article that Hitler stated in that last will and testament that Bormann was "given full legal authority to make all decisions. He is permitted to take out everything that has a sentimental value or is necessary for the maintenance of a modest simple life, for my brothers and sisters, also above all for the mother of my wife and my faithful co-workers who are well known to him, principally my old Secretaries Frau Winter etc. who have for many years aided me by their work."2601:447:4080:10:310F:6143:507F:94B0 (talk) 15:25, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
