[from David Irving]

L WRITES me from Atlanta quoting from our website:
Dr. Karl-Lueger-Ring will be renamed University Ring: he (and not Göring) famously declared, "I decide who is a Jew."

"But I think Göring did say this," argues L., "probably quoting Lueger when, for example asked about his 'Jewish' Luftwaffe deputy, Erhard Milch."

L cites Wikipedia as his source. I reply: "Milch himself told me that it is an invention." And as for giving Göring the credit: "Wikipedia as a source? Shame on you! Lueger came first. Maria Theresia even before him."

"However, it is interesting Milch told you that," L. presses. "Did you ask him if he really did have a Jewish father or grandfather ? but this is so widely known, it appears widely."

I reply acidly: "The Holocaust is also 'widely known' yet people still challenge the details. 'Widely known' would not stand up in court."

Unfortunately my verbatim transcripts of my taped 1968 interviews with Field Marshal Erhard Milch are not in the Institut für Zeitgeschichte archives. I hope I still have them in my storage unit in the UK. Yes, I asked Milch in detail and he gave me a full off-the-record account of his parentage. His legal father Anton Milch was Jewish and is buried in a Jewish cemetary in Breslau. The late Prof Klaus Herrmann researched that in detail with my help. Milch's real biological father (and the father of all his siblings too) was his uncle Carl Bräuer.
