Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: In a letter to the Times of 22 August, I wrote that the author of OpJB (the account of how Martin Bormann was brought to England at the war's end), as well as myself and others, were prepared to finance a reward of pounds 20,000 to anyone who could produce authentic factual evidence that Bormann was not brought to this country as described in that book.

Since Donald Cameron Watt in his book review of OpJB, ("The spy who went after the gold", 31 August) claims that the book is a work of "unbelievable, unforgivable" fiction, when will he be presenting the "actual, factual evidence" to justify his receiving that reward?
