What this is

We do not pass judgment ourselves. We show what the file says, and tell you where it says it.

FUNDSTELLE is a history channel. Every statement in a video carries its source on screen: volume and page of the transcript, reference of the recording. On this site every episode has the full list, so you can look it up.

Justice or revenge?

The prosecution says: a court instead of revenge. All defence counsel say: a law made only after the act, and judges only from the victorious states. We show both, with role and source.

  1. 01

    Original sound

    The voices from the courtroom, denoised, otherwise unchanged. The narrator only speaks in the gaps, never over an original voice.

  2. 02

    Both sides

    Prosecutors, defendants, defence counsel, court: every statement with name and role. The same standard for all.

  3. 03

    Source on screen

    Volume, page, reference are in the video. Here is the full list with the wording of the source.

Method

Red, blue, grey, open

Every statement gets a colour. Not by opinion, but by what a document says word for word.

  • documentedDocumented

    A document says it word for word. Quote checked against the page, then two AI reviewers.

    Example

    Motion of all defence counsel, 19 Nov 1945: a penal law enacted only after the crime.

    IMT Vol. 1, pp. 168 f.

  • theoryTheory

    An assessment by the editors, not a statement of fact. Evidence for and against, counter-theory, range. Above 90 % only with a document, and then it is red.

    Example

    “Fichte’s Addresses to the German Nation were an intellectual root of Pan-Germanism.”

    For: prosecutor de Menthon (IMT Vol. 5, p. 377); against: defence counsel Stahmer (Vol. 17, p. 499). Chapter in preparation.

  • does not holdDoes not hold

    A common claim, checked, evidence against it. It stays visible, with its origin.

    Example

    “The Lusitania was armed with guns.”

    Panel of three reviewers, unanimously grey. Chapter in preparation.

  • openOpen

    Not yet checked or not checkable. Never looks like red. Checked later or removed.

    Example

    Shown on every source page where a check is missing.

    No result is not a pass.

Method and principles

Both sides

„Four great nations stay the hand of vengeance.“
Robert H. Jackson, US Chief Prosecutor, 21 Nov 1945documented · IMT Vol. 2, pp. 98 f.
„The judges were appointed exclusively by states of one party in this war.“
Motion of all defence counsel, 19 Nov 1945documented · IMT Vol. 1, pp. 168 f.

Chapters

Nuremberg is the beginning.

From Nuremberg we go back and sideways: how it came to this, who paid, what is legend. These chapters are in the works. The sources are collected and checked, the videos are being made.

Principles

What we stand for.

Method and principles

  1. Same standard

    Prosecution and defendants, victors and defeated: every statement is checked the same way and named with its role.

  2. No agenda

    We represent no party and no reading. What we cannot document, we do not state as fact.

  3. Documented crimes

    What is documented will not be relativised, played down or called into question.

  4. Open corrections

    Mistakes happen. Every correction is listed with its date on the corrections page, never silently replaced.

  5. AI disclosed

    The narrator voice is partly AI-generated and labelled as such. Original sound stays original.
