THE RUDOLF REPORT

11. HUNTING GERMAR RUDOLFreason alone that most recipients of this version of the report wouldtoss it into the wastebasket unread.Not only that, but Remer had done something that would causenearly all his recipients who possessed a spark of pride to consign thepiece to the fire. In his foreword on the inside front cover, he attackedour leading politicians, media people, and jurists with the words,“These Liars need to be driven from their spoils fortresses”.At the same time, Remer sent this version of my report to exactlythese leading politicians, media people, and jurists, and apparently believedhe could achieve some success thereby.

With respectto me, over the following years they searched my house threetimes and took away everything that was not nailed down. Apparently,German justice did not consider Remer to be dangerous. The Remerproblem, they probably thought, would solve itself biologically. Mycase, however, they decided, needed extra effort.The End of IllusionsThe trial, which lasted from the end of 1994 to the middle of 1995,destroyed what remained of my illusions about the rule of law in Ger-323
