"If all of the dead allied soldiers could see their countries now, they would have thrown down their weapons and fought with the Germans."
David John Cawdell Irving is an English author who has written on the military and political history of World War II, especially Nazi Germany. He was found to be a Holocaust denier in a UK court in 2000 as a result of a failed libel case.
Born: 24 March 1938 (age 85 years), Hutton, Brentwood
Authorship: David Irving has authored numerous books on World War II, with a focus on Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. His works often stirred controversy due to his revisionist perspectives on historical events.
Holocaust Denial: Irving gained infamy for his denial of the Holocaust, claiming that the genocide of Jews during World War II, as well as the existence of gas chambers in concentration camps, were exaggerated or fabricated. This stance led to legal battles and tarnished his reputation in historical circles.
Legal Case: In 2000, Irving filed a libel suit against Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin Books for labeling him a Holocaust denier in one of her works. The case, famously known as Irving v Penguin Books Ltd, resulted in a ruling against Irving, with the judge describing him as an active Holocaust denier and anti-Semitic.
Revisionist Historian: Despite his controversial views, Irving is considered a significant figure in the realm of revisionist history. His works have been scrutinized for their accuracy and ideological biases, leading many historians to reject his interpretations of historical events.
Personal Background: David Irving was born on March 24, 1938, in Hutton, Brentwood, England. His upbringing and early life experiences have been cited by some as influencing his later controversial beliefs and writings.

10 little sailors
Ten little sailors were drinking wine, one coughed up some blood and then there were nine.
Nine little sailors tried to rescue a mate, one drowned in the sea and then there were eight.
Eight little sailors talked about Heaven, one fell into a hole and then there were seven.
Seven little sailors were cleaning candlesticks, one set himself on fire and then there were six.
Six little sailors tried to stay alive, one ran into a knife and then there were five.
Five little sailors felt a little sore, one ingested poison and then there were four.
Four little sailors said “What will be will be”, one walked out into nothingness and then there were three.
Three little sailors were eating a shoe, one died of scurvy and then there were two.
Two little sailors ran to grab a gun, one charged a giant bear and then there was one.
One little sailor sat under the sun. He tried to challenge the bear…
And then there were none.

*not strictly a "how do you imagine you'd die" question. Can be also read as "how do you wish to die". Just know that in this 1845 expedition you WILL die, so choose wisely.
