GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORYThe article quoted by the Chamber regarding a decision by the GermanFederal Constitutional High Court does not contain any principlesto evaluate the science nature of a work. 288Further Motions of 12 February 2007Annex 11In the matter of Germar Rudolf I request that the Court may tell thedefense, how it defines science and which criteria it uses to assess thescientific nature of a writing, as defined by the law, as well as on whichsource it relies for this know-how, as it its contested that the Court itselfhas the expert competence to answer this question in a legally bindingway.Germar RudolfAnnex 12In the matter of Germar Rudolf I request to hear the witness Prof.Dr. Werner Maser, expert for contemporary history with special knowledgeabout the history of the Third Reich, to be summoned via his privateaddress, as evidence for the following allegations:1. In a longer telephone call with Germar Rudolf the witness stated thatthe restrictions of freedom of opinion and freedom of science in theFederal Republic of Germany have almost reached the conditions ofthe former GDR [German Democratic Republic, former communistEast Germany] and that, as a historian in Germany, one can no longertell the unvarnished truth, if one doesn’t want to expose oneself tosocietal persecution and legal prosecution. (Summer 2005)2. The witness will confirm that it is the permanent threat of historianswith societal persecution and legal prosecution which keeps themfrom taking revisionist publications seriously in public or to even assumerevisionist positions, but not subject-specific reservations.3. The witness will confirm that the unanimity of established historianson many issues of the Third Reich exists only, because dissidents arebeing persecuted and prosecuted or are threatened with it.Germar Rudolf288 The passage of the verdict dealing with the term “science” has been replaced with omissionellipses in the quoted article, hence the court’s reference to it is vacuous.238
