I'm only half way through but I honestly don't get it. This book makes it perfectly clear that hitler fully intended on exterminating jews, and heavily implied that he wanted to use slavs as forced slave labor using real quotes from him, and other party members. It also mentions secret euthanization programs, and hitler's over the top conspiratorial thinking. I struggle to see how this is a pro hitler revisionist history book other than it not making hitler out to be a silly cartoon villain

It isn't. But he questions the surviving fascist party line. The numbers are one issue they pick on him for.

That book was written when Irving was still respected as a historian and historiography relating to the how the Nazi regime functioned was unfixed. After he started denying the Holocaust people who had complimented his work took it back and the idea that Hitler was a weak dictator (e.g. "working towards the Führer") solidified.

Irving never denied the Holocaust. He merely says the killings didn't primarily happen in Auschwitz but the Heydrich camps. It's been years since I went down that rabbit hole, but in the grand scheme of things, he's a lukewarm "revisionist" at best, certainly not a /pol/tard even though I think he takes the concept of 'real history' a bit too far....just because no documents exist linking Hitler to the final solution doesn't absolve him at all, if they existed they were certainly be in the first batch to be incinerated during Operation Clausewitz.

I don't think I finished Hitler's War, but at the time I was also struck by how frankly conventional it was. It makes absolutely no bones about Hitler wanting and planning for war right from the get go, whereas the /pol/ meme is they were all just yodeling until the whole world declared war on them.

It should be noted that the people running his site nowadays lean more towards the /pol/ extremist stance. Notably not his voice.

Can you give the quote?

That's considered a controversial position even in academic circles
