THE RUDOLF REPORT

GERMAR RUDOLF · THE RUDOLF REPORTBote could not restrain itself from digging up the dpa lie again: 635“In opposition to competent scientific authorities, the Jettingenchemist asserted that mass-killing of humans with hydrogen cyanidewould leave traces of cyanide in the masonry of the remaining buildingsin the camp, but no such traces can be found.”That the extremely harsh sentence against Rudolf was due to reasonsof public instruction, and thus for the purpose of frightening anyscientist who might play with the idea of publishing a deviating opinion(general prevention), was also the opinion of the Böblinger Bote onJune 27, 1996:“No probation was granted for the sentence of 14 months imprisonmenthanded down in June last year on grounds of general prevention.”Hunted AbroadIn March of 1996, Germar Rudolf went into exile. The press initiallylost track of him and for the time being, lost interest as well. Thischanged in the fall of 1999, when British journalist Chris Hastings (34)set about tracking him down in England. Since Rudolf had registered,as required by law, and residency records are open to the public, it wasnot difficult to establish that Rudolf was residing in England. In addition,Rudolf had listed his post office address on his website (PO Box118, Hastings TN34 3ZQ.) Chris Hastings succeeded in locating theapartment in which Rudolf was registered. He left a note requesting aninterview. Rudolf granted his request by allowing him a two hour interviewat Victoria station in London. The content of this interviewconcerned primarily the present state of human rights in Germany aswell as the official persecution of Rudolf. But as Rudolf suspected,Hastings was not interested in the present state of human rights inGermany. In Hastings’ article in the Sunday Telegraph of Oct. 17,1999, the subject was not even mentioned. Instead, under a subtitledemagogically slandering Rudolf as a “neo-nazi”, Hastings wrote: 636“He [Rudolf] confirms that, during his stay in Britain, he has forgedlinks with far-Right extremists including members of the National Front635 Kreiszeitung Böblinger Bote and Gäubote/Südwestpresse-Verbund, May 6, 1996.636 Jessica Berry and Chris Hastings, “German neo-Nazi fugitive is found hiding in Britain”, TheSunday Telegraph, Oct. 17, 1999; repeated on Oct. 18, 1999 in the Independent.398
