E-Book The Hidden Reich

Why Germany Does Not Confront Its History

Germany is often praised as the global “master of coming to terms with the past.” But does this self-image really hold true? This book asks uncomfortable questions and reveals how selective remembrance has been used to conceal the deeper continuities of power that reach far beyond 1945.

Through historical documents, political decisions, and economic entanglements, it becomes clear: history did not end with the fall of the Third Reich. It continues to shape institutions, networks, and families that remain largely hidden from public view. The silence surrounding these continuities is no accident, but part of a system designed to marginalize dissent and taboo alternative interpretations.

This work invites readers to look beyond the official narrative and uncover why Germany has never truly confronted its past.

The Enlightenment Trilogy by Dr. Bodo Schiffmann

With these three major works, Dr. Bodo Schiffmann presents a trilogy of enlightenment that combines historical depth with political analysis. The books build on one another, guiding the reader step by step behind the curtain of official history and power politics:

1. Why Germany Does Not Confront Its History (WDSGNA) – reveals how selective remembrance conceals continuities and why the past still shapes today’s power structures.

2. Rulers in the Shadows – uncovers the hidden networks of elites, intelligence agencies, and financial dynasties that have steered political and social processes for generations.

3. The Eternal War – exposes how war functions as a permanent instrument of global control and why peace repeatedly proves to be only a brief intermission.

Together, these three volumes form a body of work that not only explains why the world is the way it is—but also why recognizing these hidden patterns is essential if we are to shape a different future.
