A cache of roughly half a million internal documents from Germany’s far‑right AfD has been published as a searchable, curated public archive. The release includes the COMPLETE ORIGINAL EMAILS - full headers, bodies, attachments and DKIM signatures - allowing independent verification of authenticity. The archive is intended for journalism, research and public accountability and presents every item with a short summary, a severity rating (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW), and, where relevant, a count of identifiers. Material is organized into five record classes, entries are deduplicated so each document appears once, and guidance is provided on how to read and verify items.
Publication is governed by a responsible‑disclosure approach that minimizes unnecessary personal data while considering removal requests that pose concrete risk to individuals. The entire dataset is available as a 281 GB, hash‑verified torrent (two delivery variants with identical content) and readers are asked to seed to preserve the archive. The project is independently funded, runs without advertising or tracking, and solicits donations - notably in Monero - to cover hosting and maintenance.
