I have been more than surprised to read the piece on the Hitler diaries
dated 15th March, 2026. Hugh Trevor-Roper read German fluently from the
1930s. He was assured by Stern before he saw the so-called “diaries”. That
their authenticity had been technically verified, but this proved to be
incorrect. No one who knew him could ever have supposed that he was “a
bourgeois historian”.
