Irving was an early proponent of the argument that the diaries were a forgery, and went so far as to crash the press conference held by Hugh Trevor-Roper at the Hamburg offices of Der Stern magazine on 25 April 1983 to denounce the diaries as a forgery and Trevor-Roper for endorsing the diaries as genuine ( Trevor-Roper had called the press conference to announce his withdrawal of his endorsement ).

Taylor had a famous rivalry with the right-wing historian Hugh Trevor-Roper, with whom he often debated on television.

A subtle but important difference in the style between the two historians was their manner of addressing each other during their TV debates: Trevor-Roper always addressed Taylor as " Mr. Taylor " or just " Taylor ", while Taylor always addressed Trevor-Roper as " Hugh ".

Irving's performance at the Der Stern press conference where he violently harangued Trevor-Roper until ejected by security led him to be featured prominently on the news ; the next day, Irving appeared on Today television show as a featured guest.

Irving was proud of the " trail of chaos " he had created at the Hamburg press conference and the attendant publicity it had brought him, and in particular took a great deal of pride in his humiliation of Trevor-Roper, whom Irving strongly disliked for his criticism of Irving's methods and conclusions.

Trevor-Roper said " I'm afraid that your book The Origins of the Second World War may damage your reputation as a historian ", to which Taylor replied " Your criticism of me would damage your reputation as a historian, if you had one.

Despite their divergent political philosophies, Taylor and Trevor-Roper had been friends since the early 1950s, but with the possibility of the Regius Professorship, both men lobbied for it.

The Conservative Prime Minister Harold Macmillan awarded the chair to the Tory Trevor-Roper rather than the Labourite Taylor.

In private, he was furious with Trevor-Roper for holding an honour that Taylor considered rightfully his.

Likewise, the various articles written by Taylor and Trevor-Roper denouncing each other's scholarship, in which both men's considerable powers of invective were employed with maximum effect, made for entertaining reading.

Beyond that, it was fashionable to portray the dispute between Taylor and Trevor-Roper as a battle between generations.

Taylor, with his populist, irreverent style, was nearly a decade older than Trevor-Roper, but was represented by the media as a symbol of the younger generation that was coming of age in the 1950s – 1960s.

Leading the charge against Taylor was his arch-enemy Trevor-Roper, who contended that Taylor had wilfully and egregiously misinterpreted the evidence.

When Taylor offered a picture of Hitler similar to Bullock's in his 1961 book The Origins of the Second World War, the same debate continued, very publicly, between Taylor and Trevor-Roper.

Taylor attempted to discredit the document by using the fact that the future annexations described in the ' contingencies ' were unlike those that occurred in 1939, but opposing historians, such as Taylor's arch-rival, Hugh Trevor-Roper, have pointed out that the memorandum still demonstrated an intention for adding Austria, Czechoslovakia, Lithuania and Poland to the Reich.

* Finally, in response to Taylor's argument that Hitler had no programme because his foreign policy seemed to operate in a haphazard and slapdash way, Taylor's critics such as Trevor-Roper worked out the formula by which Hitler held " consistent aims " but sought to achieve via " flexible methods ".

In November 1945, Trevor-Roper was ordered by Dick White, then head of counter-intelligence in the British sector of Berlin ( and later head of MI5 and MI6 in succession ) to investigate the circumstances of Adolf Hitler's death and to rebut the propaganda of the Soviet government that Hitler was alive and living somewhere in the West.

Using the alias of Major Oughton, Trevor-Roper interviewed politicians, military men, and supporting staff-which were present in the Führerbunker with Hitler, and who had been able to escape to the West, including Bernd Freytag von Loringhoven.

In response to The Last Days of Hitler, Trevor-Roper received a death threat from the Stern Gang for his supposed over-emphasis on Hitler's charisma, which the authors of the death threat felt had exonerated the German people.

In the 1950s, Trevor-Roper was ferocious in his criticism of Bullock for his portrayal of Hitler as a “ mountebank ” ( i. e., opportunistic adventurer ) instead of the ideologue that Trevor-Roper believed him to be.

In regard to the Globalist-Continentalist debate between those who argued that Hitler had as his aim the conquest of the entire world, as against those who argued that he sought only the conquest of the continent of Europe, Trevor-Roper was one of the leading Continentalists.

Bullock's views led to a debate with Hugh Trevor-Roper in the 1950s who argued that Hitler did possess beliefs, albeit repulsive ones and that Hitler's actions were motivated by them.

Several experts, including British Hitler expert Hugh Trevor-Roper came forward to pronounce the diaries to be authentic ; when this was disproven Heidemann was arrested, tried, and sentenced to four and a half years in prison in 1985 for fraud, as was Konrad Kujau, who had actually done the forging of the books in Hitler's handwriting, as he had done previously with other fraudulent Hitler documents.

Trevor-Roper countered this criticism by arguing that Hitler expressed an intention to go to war sooner rather than later, and it was Hitler's intentions in foreign policy in late 1937 as opposed to his precise plans at this moment in history that really mattered.

Despite his background in the functionalist historiography, Kershaw admits that his account of Hitler in World War II owes much to intentionalist historians like Gerhard Weinberg, Hugh Trevor-Roper, Lucy Dawidowicz and Eberhard Jäckel.
