David Irving out to support holocaust denier
Historian Irving has offered a place at his home in Windsor, Berks, for German-born Australian national Gerald Toben who faces extradition to Germany on a European arrest warrant.
The German authorities claim Toben launched a campaign between 2000 and 2004 in which he posted anti-Semitic claims on the internet that "denies, approves or plays down" the mass murder of the Jews.
Toben's alleged conduct was "evil", City of Westminster Magistrates Court heard.
However, Irving claimed outside court that the case showed that living in England was like being in Nazi Germany.
Toben, 64, a doctor of philosophy, was arrested at Heathrow earlier this week when his flight from America to Dubai stopped over in London.
In 1999 Toben was sentenced to nine months in jail for breaching Germany's Holocaust laws, including one banning the defaming of the dead.
If he is convicted on the current charges he could face up to five years in jail.
