GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

Appendix 3: Assessments by Expert Historians<br />

1. Dr. Olaf Rose<br />

The following expert report by historian Dr. Olaf Rose was prepared<br />

on request of <strong>Germar</strong> <strong>Rudolf</strong> for this trial. Since the 2nd Superior Penal<br />

Chamber of the Mannheim District Court dealing with this case had<br />

indicated that it will sentence the defendant <strong>Rudolf</strong> to five years imprisonment,<br />

should further motions to introduce evidence be filed in the<br />

defense of <strong>Rudolf</strong>, whereas the instant cessation of any defense activity<br />

would lead to a sentence of “only” 2½ years, this expert report was not<br />

introduced to exonerate the defendant. Considering the Chamber’s attitude<br />

of total refusal to accept any motions to introduce evidence, it had<br />

to be expected that this specialist expert report would have been rejected<br />

as well, because the Chamber claimed to have had sufficient expertise<br />

to assess the scientific nature of the analyzed books.<br />

meet the formal requirements of proper scientific works in the field of<br />

scientific historiography:<br />

3. <strong>Germar</strong> <strong>Rudolf</strong>: Vorlesungen über den Holocaust, Castle Hill<br />

Publishers 2005 (quoted as Vorlesungen). [55]<br />

After receiving and preliminarily reviewing the three volumes, I<br />

asked to be allowed to limit myself to the evaluation of the first and<br />

third book, as I am not able to assess the entire content of the so-called
