London, March 3, 1999 

Dear Prof. Kershaw

thank you for your letter of December 17 (I plead absence from the UK for the delay). We hope to get a new edition of Hitler's War out soon. I have heard many favourable voices from the USA about your own book; the reading public's appetite for Hitler seems insatiable.

I may write to you again in a few days about experts. I shall need to marshal a platoon of experts for a High Court libel action, who can advise the judge on the changing meaning of wartime German words, etc. Have you any idea about a suitable linguist, as opposed to an historian? I don't mind what his views are, it is expertise that I am looking for.

Yours sincerely,

David Irving
