Denial at War Show

By Marc Shoffman -

THE organisers of a military exhibition have been criticised after a BBC documentary found concentration camp goods on sale and revealed that neo-Nazis and Holocaust denier David Irving were at the event.

The Panorama documentary, Weekend Nazis, aired on Monday, discovered a Bergen Belsen concentration camp trolley for sale and a stall hosted by Irving at July's annual War and Peace Show in Kent.

The military extravaganza includes reenactments of World War II battles where some groups dress up as Nazi soldiers and SS guards. Stalls at the event offer military memorabilia such as toy tanks, Nazi uniforms, flags, and Hitler mugs.

But some were more controversial. One offered to stamp swastikas on 50p pieces, while a Bergen Belsen concentration camp trolley was on sale in another for £550.

David Irving comments:

SEE how obsessed these nice folks are with themselves, and how they preen themselves that the reason for Austria imprisoning me was for Holocaust denial.
   Soon it will be for paedophilia, or for accosting men in public lavatories disguised as a US Senator.
   
In fact: Austria sentenced me to three years jail for Wiederbetätigung, literally reactivation (of the Nazi Party!) under a Stalin-era law passed in 1945, on account of a lecture I had delivered sixteen years earlier on November 6, 1989.
   The law is also called the Verbotsgesetz, or Banning Law.
   Grotesquely, "democratic" and "Free Speech" Austria still has this law on its statute book and uses it to jail people of whose views it disapproves -- on this particular occasion it was at the written request (November 7, 1989) of a Jewish-Marxist body, the Dokumentationsarchiv des Widerstandes. AWPOW!

I AM incidentally waiting for the right moment, and the right phrasing, to issue new proceedings against any writer of substance who publishes within the Jurisdiction the demonstrable lie that "David Irving is a Holocaust denier." Who wants to be first, fellers? And don't imagine you can weasel round it by pointing to Mr Justice Gray: that won't wash any more.

David Irving, who completed a prison sentence for Holocaust denial in Austria last year [see panel at right], had a stall at the event, offering his controversial books on revisionism. Undercover reporters also found that his stall contained anti-semitic pamphlets. [Website comment: see the concluding paragraph of panel at right. Don't snivel that you weren't warned].

The programme revealed that Combat 18 members and other neo-nazi groups attend the event from abroad.

Karen Bollock, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust [Website comment: How many executives does this phony "charity" have?] told the Jewish News: "Whilst I understand that many people enjoy collecting military memorabilia, the notion that it is appropriate to market 'a concentration camp trolley marked SS from Belsen' is appalling." [Website comment: We believe that there are much worse exhibits on commercial display at the Holocaust Museums in Auschwitz, London and Washington; and hot-dog stands as well.]

She added: "David Irving has been described by a High Court Judge as 'a falsifier of history' and should not be given a platform to spread his hatred."

Gerry Gable, editor of anti-fascist magazine Searchlight, added, "I would think these days with all the fears of people running around with bomb manuals and de-activated firearms the Government might view this film and think we need to licence such organisations." [Website comment: See our dossier on the long criminal career of Mr Gable and his accomplices -- burglary, theft of Post Office IDs, arson....]

Rex Cadman, organiser of the War and Peace Show said he was not aware of the offensive material but added that the goods would have been removed if he had seen them. "David Irving wasn't invited and the person who let him on his stall will be reprimanded. The items identified in the show, although a minority were of great concern. We will aim to stamp out extremism but there is also a risk that this programme may encourage extremists to attend if they see other Combat 18 members."

Weekend Nazis: John Sweeney reported Monday, August 27, 2007 on BBC1 at 8.30pm

Some see pamphlets, others moustaches. TV super-reporter John Sweeney needs help, says historian David Irving (right). A few minutes before this young Oxford University student asked for a photo with him Irving was filmed -- without invitation -- by Sweeney and his roving team at the Beltring militaria show. David Irving had a moustache, says Sweeney. What had he smoking?
