History and reception[]

Arndt Verlag was founded in 1963 by Heinz von Arndt, who was a member of the neo-Nazi Deutsche Reichspartei and later of the NPD. In 1983, the publisher  [de] took over the publishing house and integrated it into his publishing company. Munier built Arndt into one of the largest and most important right-wing publishing houses in Germany.[1]

According to the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution of Schleswig-Holstein, Arndt Verlag is trying to "give readers a positive picture of the national-socialist terror".[2] The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution mentions the publishing house in its reports for 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.[3] Its illustrated books "gloss over the Nazi period" and glorify the military techniques of the "Third Reich". Arndt's publications advance a German claim over the Sudetenland.[4]
