Winkler, Heinrich August: Hans Rothfels - ein Lobredner Hitlers? Quellenkritische Bemerkungen zu Ingo Haars Buch "Historiker im Nationalsozialismus". In: Vierteljahrshefte für Zeitgeschichte (München), 49 (2001), S. 643-652, bes. S. 664

Ingo Haar rejects Heinrich August Winkler's accusation that he should have presented Hans Rothfels, one of the most prominent representatives of the German research into contemporary history, as somebody who paved the way for the National Socialist policy of extermination. Furthermore, Haar criticizes Winkler's interpretation of Rothfels' disputed speech "The German Idea of the 'Nation' from Frederick the Great to the Present"; according to Winkler, Rothfels presented himself in 1930 as a "Vernunftrepublikaner", that is to say, a supporter of the republic of Weimar for rational reasons, and as being in favour of Gustav Stresemann. Haar concedes that there is indeed some approval for Stresemann in question; this approval is, however, nowhere to be found in a new version of the speech, delivered by Rothfels in 1933. Winkler therefore refers to a quote which is not authentic. By deleting one passage and adding another one, in which Rothfels expresses his support for a coalition of the presidential regime with the new "national movement", the tone of the text is considerably altered.
