What's actually in the archive
Coverage across every research file behind this project — from the Eighty Years' War through the Cold War, plus a separate, deliberately unrelated slice: the Nuremberg trial record, where this whole knowledge base actually started, as a learning sandbox before the Dutch military history became the point of it. Diamonds mark specific documented episodes; the gold diamond marks the one place on this timeline grounded in verified primary-source extraction (the Grebbeberg combat reports) rather than synthesized secondary material. Hover or tap any segment for what's actually written there.
The Inheritance
1568 – 1815 · the Dutch Republic's own military tradition
The Twentieth Century
1900 – 2002 · four branch timelines + the civil–military cross-cutting angle
Nuremberg Trial Record, 1945–46
Not part of the Dutch story — a parallel slice, run through the same mechanically-checked-quotes-plus-adversarial-review pipeline as the Grebbeberg combat reports below, at a much larger scale (52 documents against 3).
How everything is marked
🟢 verified extraction (Nuremberg, plus the Grebbeberg combat reports — Rentjes, Elzas, Vos) · 🟡 synthesized scaffold (the rest of the 1568–1999 Dutch corpus) · 🟠 disputed / actively contested claim · a fourth tier for oral history — one entry, the author's own conscript service.
With those two exceptions (Nuremberg, and the Grebbeberg combat reports), everything else here is a synthesized reference scaffold — real sources, honestly tiered, not mechanically-verified primary extraction — per each research file's own evidentiary note.
