Hillgruber regarded Hitler as a fanatical ideologue with a firmly fixed programme, and criticized the view of him as a grasping opportunist with no real beliefs other than the pursuit of power--a thesis promoted by such British historians as A.J.P. Taylor and Alan Bullock, which he thought profoundly shallow and facile.
Hillgruber argued adamantly that the German invasion of Poland was a war of aggression caused by Hitler’s ideological belief in war and the need for Lebensraum (Living Space).
That Hillgruber asked his readers to sympathize with the officers and men of the German Wehrmacht and Kriegsmarine who fought to protect and evacuate the German population is morally indefensible.

 The Unmasterable Past by Michael H. Kater   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The trio, not in unison but individually, resented the fact that critical left-wing historians had adopted this reading for themselves and were continually chastising their own nation, rather than concentrating on obvious patriotic highlights, such as, for instance, the grandeur of the Second Empire under Wilhelm ii.
Cologne historian Hillgruber averred that the undeniable atrocities by a Nazi war machine would have to be balanced against unspeakable cruelties committed by Red Army soldiers advancing on Berlin in 1945.
Hence, while the author clearly sides with the critics of Nolte, Hillgruber, and Sturmer, and does so supported by his profound knowledge of the German past in the last two centuries, he is still able to appreciate and sometimes even honour the views of the conservative historians.

 Synopsis of Class: March 27, 2001
Andreas Hillgruber's book, Two Sorts of Destruction: The Smashing of the German Reich and the End of European Jewry, illustrates just how dangerous such choices can be.
In so doing, however, Hillgruber also happens to neglect mentioning the crucial role of the Wehrmacht as support system for the SS Einsatzgruppen, who effected the deaths of about 2 million of the 6 million Jews killed during the Nazi regime.
And, of course, let's not mention the deaths of 20 million Soviet soldiers and civilians at the hands of that Wehrmacht in the course of the war.

 ISN Fall 1999 Event
What Hillgruber and Nolte called "the pleasures of narration" was advanced in the cause of redeeming a "portion" of the German past deemed worthy of being narrated and narrated as a drama of fulfillment rather than of degradation and degeneracy.
The drama of redemption as a relationship of promise and fulfillment is already contained (we might say, "fulfilled") in Jesus's words (in Mark I:15): "The time (kairos) is fulfilled (peplerotai)," on the eve of his entrance into Jerusalem, where the covenant between God and the Jews would be "fulfilled" in His passion.
In other words, Hillgruber was to have been run out of the profession for doing what historians have always done: try to legitimate the national past and tell stories about it--or rather by telling stories about it.

 Bartov's Paper   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A good example of the difficulties involved is Andreas Hillgruber's 1986 book Zweierlei Untergang: Die Zerschlagung des Deutschen Reiches und das Ende des europaeischen Judentums (Double Downfall: The Destruction of the German Reich and the End of European Jewry).
Thus Hillgruber's text reflects both his perceived need to historicize the past and identify with his protagonists -- as befits any self-conscious Rankean -- and his own wartime experience and exposure to the Nazi rhetoric of the time.
This tendency for powerful but selective empathy has, in turn, some interesting implications for other German representations of their past, as will be shown later on.

 Holocaust Denial in Context
A similar phenomenon has been manifested in Germany, as is evidenced in the quasi-official renderings of such reactionary nationalist historians as Hellmut Diwald, Andreas Hillgruber and Michael Sturmer.
Indeed, she acknowledges that he not only affirms its occurrence, but that it occurred in its full dimensions What she has in n-mind instead is to use Nolte as a vehicle upon which to attack comparative methods per se.
This is accomplished via an uninterrupted transition from Lipstadt's solid denunciations of Diwald's, Hillgruber's and Sturmer's spurious attempts to equate German suffering under the Soviets with that of the Jews under nazism, to her purported rebuttal of Nolte's much broader sets of comparisons, all four of which are thereby lumped together as a unified whole.
