Do you have a link?

The proper thing to do would be to link to what you are quoting.

So, Gravy, are you being disrespectful to all the readers of your post intentionally, or are you simply unaware of common forum etiquette?

JdG, go to a library. The world is not all "links."

Also helpful was an Allied military leadership that was slow to react to the developing situation.

You could add his insistence on the V-1 and V-2 weapons programs, which consumed enormous amounts of resources for almost no military gain whatsoever; his insistence on revenge for the bombing of German cities rather than thinking in terms of defending against such attacks; and refusing to allow a withdrawal from Stalingrad, just to name a few more examples.

Oh, yes, there was also an extremely large reserve that was supposed to be backing up Army Group Center that Hitler sent south to secure an oil field, just in time for the start of Operation Bagration.

And it may have consumed a bit more time than he could spare when he tried to convince the Luftwaffe that the Me 262 should be fitted to carry bombs to serve as an attack aircraft while the 8th Air Force was blasting his factories to flinders.

Then there were a couple projects that Ferry Posche sold him, like the Jagdtiger that would collapse most of the bridges that were still standing in German-controlled territories at the time, and the Maus tank that would probably cause undue stress to most bridges standing today.

I have heard it stated that the idea for the Autobahn system was actually drawn up prior to hitler's rise to power. Seems like a lot of his best ideas were not entirely his, but he has to own a lot of the screw-ups.

That Hitler blunder is somewhat overstated. His insistence on having the Me-262 be able to carry bombs actually meant little effective delay in the production of that fighter. The real problem was getting the engines into mass production with sufficient quality; that issue wasn't solved until mid-1944. So even without the bomb rack sidetrack there still would not have been reasonable numbers of Me-262s reaching service until the middle of 1944. And by that time it was too late.

Hitler's biggest mistake in regards to the Luftwaffe was putting Goering in charge of it.

It wouldn't be his military acumen drawing all the attention if autobiographies were being written about him in the post-war period. ;)

However, it wasn't unknown for German generals to write autobiographies, and some of them actually mentioned Hitler!

Yea, Swedish history books don't even mention any of the battles your army took part in! And there's no sign of any bomb damaged buildings or battle sites anywhere in the country!!

What book should I check out of the library to find the information?

I will assume you are serious about learning something about the Holocaust. You can start with Raul Hilberg, "The Destruction of the European Jews." According to Powell's Books in Portland OR (my personal favorite bookstore in the entire universe), the 3d ed, 2003, is 1,440 pages, so that should keep you busy. Earlier editions would be suitable as well.

For an excellent general history of the Holocaust, I suggest you start with Tell Them We Remember: The Story of the Holocaust, by Susan Bachrach.

For refutation of Holocaust denial, I recommend The Case for the Auschwitz: Evidence from the Irving Trial, by Robert Jan van Pelt, and Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory, by Deborah Lipstadt.

Personally, I found Denying History: Who Says the Holocaust Never Happened and Why Do They Say It by Michael Shermer and Alex Grobman to be much more informative than the Lipstadt book. It not only debunks the deniers' arguments, but goes into detail describing what historical research is and how it works--and why the deniers' "research" is anything but.
 
If we can deny something which has filmed evidence and actual statements from people who witnessed it and are still living, can we actually stop it being removed from history once all that has gone? In 100 yrs could it be that it never happened?

We have no evidence to support this view because we wouldn't know, would we if something happened 150 yrs ago and was swept under the historical table?
