COMPETITION NO 148
by Tessa Castro
Hugh Trevor-Roper’s
Wartime Journals include a lot about his research for
The Last Days of Hitler, commissioned to dispel rumours that Hitler was still alive. He remarked that it was a pity that Pontius Pilate didn’t commission a Roman historian to do a similar book, taking evidence from the Apostles, soldiers, etc, to prove that Jesus was really dead. So, an extract from that book, please. Maximum 150 words.
