Verification, not a bibliography

Every source, in one place

515 distinct citations across 159 archives, museums, and sites — pulled directly from the research files behind this project, not retyped by hand. This is the actual paper trail behind “every claim traced to a source”: check any of it yourself.

The Inheritance, 1568–1815 39 sources

Regimental Lineage, 1813–2026 28 sources

Army, 1900–1999 219 sources

Navy & Koopvaardij, 1900–1999 67 sources

Air Force, 1913–1999 31 sources

Civil–Military Relations, 1900–1999 46 sources

The KNIL's Century, 1815–1900 44 sources

Colours and Traditions, 1813–2025 41 sources

All 7 research files now cite their sources as direct links. The two that didn’t — dutch_knil_campaigns_1815-1900.md and dutch_military_colours_and_traditions.md — were retrofitted: every prose-named source was re-verified against a live page before being linked, rather than converted on trust. A handful of citations in both files couldn’t be verified this way — offline-only books, paywalled journal articles, or pages that turned out not to say what the text claimed — and were deliberately left as unlinked prose rather than forced.
