"Torpedo Running"
 

In April 1983 several of the world's leading journals, including Der Stern, The Sunday Times, and Newsweek, began to publish "Hitler's Diaries". At Stern's press spectacular conference on April 25, 1983, David Irving exposed them as fake (picture on right).

In 1985 he issued a glossy brochure on the scandal and other contemporary issues, entitled Torpedo Running.
