One the one hand, it looks like he's at least trying to address the absurdities.
But on the other:
"He accepts, for example, that between five and six million Jews perished as victims of German wartime policy, and that hundreds of thousands of Jews were gassed at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka and other camps. (pp. 289–290)
Characteristic is his view of the well-known “confession” of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss. While acknowledging that this key piece of Holocaust evidence was extracted by torture, and that key portions are “exaggerated,” Nolte nevertheless accepts it as “qualitatively” valid. (pp. 293–294, 310)
Similarly, Nolte is skeptical of at least some portions of the widely quoted “testimony” of “gas chamber” witness Filip Müller, and he regards Elie Wiesel’s “eyewitness report” (in his well-known book Night) as “not very credible.” (pp. 311, 476) Still, Nolte contends, there must be a core of truth to the “gassing” story because it has been confirmed – in its essence, if not in its details – by several “witnesses.”
Managing the narrative collapse isn't going to be possible. The spread of truth has taken root and it's already on the front porch of every average home.
Too fucking bad for the professional victims and greedy liars and their political dogs on the leash.
