@Fash-E I have seen the discussion of its problems come up when I read about Hitler's views on Christianity. The Table Talks make him to be some kind of Christ-hating antichrist which contradicts his public statements, his policies, and verifiable letters, which sows him much more neutral.
I think the academic consensus is that the Table Talks are a mix of misquoting or mistranslating people quoting what they thought Hitler said, quoting people who were struggling to siphon through their traumatic war memories and barely remember with sufficient accuracy , and occasionally deliberate redaction.
This isn't to say that what Zundel is quoting is inaccurate or that Hitler didn't see the Cold War coming. Multiple people, like George Patton, who weren't full of themselves or high on their own propaganda could see that the Alliance was two enemies coming together to crush another.

@SuperSnekFriend Any quote from albert speer is gonna be a lie, he sold out at nuremburg to save his head and he made up a bunch of retarded quotes of hitler like one praising muhammed and another about germany not deserving him etc all from speer and now quoted by historians as fact

@Fash-E I've read multiple times that the Table Talks are suspect and unreliable as sources. Do we have something that can back this particular conversation up?

@SuperSnekFriend I haven't read it, I only know Irving and Zundel quote from it. It was probably edited or censored in some way.

Ernst Zundel reads Adolf Hitler's last table talk. From his bunker in 1945, Hitler accurately predicts the cold war, the decline of America, and the rise of a nationalist Russia and China.
