y publishing and distribution firms for quite some time with<br />

regard to the production of advertising leaflets is in the mutual<br />

financial interest of these firms and cannot be seen as reflecting<br />

a close journalistic network.<br />

Arndt-Verlag The publishing house "Arndt-Verlag" in Kiel [Schleswig-Holstein] is<br />

one of the largest right-extremist publishers independent of any<br />

specific organization. In addition to publications on cultural and<br />

educational policy, its programme covers works of revisionist<br />

orientation which serve to morally upgrade historic National-Socialism.<br />

A special feature of the publisher’s programme are video<br />

recordings of speeches and lectures given by well-known rightwing<br />

extremists, for instance the speech by the former left-wing<br />

extremist Horst MAHLER (cf. Chapter IV, section 1, and Chapter<br />

VI, above).<br />

Grabert-Verlag The "Grabert-Verlag" in Tübingen [Baden-Wurttemberg] has a<br />

relatively broad programme of books published by it, including<br />

works which deny the responsibility of the Hitler regime for the<br />

outbreak of World War II, or convey collectivist-ethnical ideas. Its<br />

sister company "Hohenrain-Verlag" also addresses a broader,<br />

non-extremist reading public with offers dealing with topical<br />

subjects, such as the introduction of the Euro or globalization. Its<br />

quarterly "Deutschland in Geschichte und Gegenwart" ["Germany<br />

in History and in Our Times"] comments on current affairs and<br />

subjects of contemporary history.<br />

Verlagsgesellschaft Berg The publishing house "Verlagsgesellschaft Berg" [referring to the<br />

town of Berg in Upper Bavaria] which is a merger of the firms of<br />

"Druffel", "Türmer" and "Vowinckel", also offers a broad range of<br />

revisionist publications of contemporaries about the Hitler-<br />

Jugend (HJ - "Hitler Youth Movement") or journalism during the<br />

Nazi regime. This company publishes the bi-monthly journal<br />

"Deutsche Geschichte" ["German History"] and the almanac "Deutsche<br />

Annalen" ["German Annals"]. 1999 was the second year of<br />

publication of the journal "Opposition. Magazin für Deutschland"<br />

which allegedly was so successful that it was changed from a<br />

quarterly to a bi-monthly publication. So far, it has not been able<br />

to meet its self-imposed claim to being an innovative new ’theory<br />

and strategy organ’: since its authors are not different from those<br />

of other right-extremist publication organs such as "Nation &<br />

Europa", this magazine offers no innovation in terms of either<br />

form or content.<br />

Strategy organ "Nation &<br />

Europa - Deutsche<br />

Monatshefte"<br />

The publishing house "Nation Europa-Verlag" in Coburg [Bavaria]<br />

is worth mentioning not because of the small number of its own<br />

books, mostly of revisionist orientation, but because of its journal<br />

"Nation & Europa - Deutsche Monatshefte" ["Nation & Europe -<br />

German Monthly"] which is to be regarded as the leading publication<br />

dealing with right-extremist theory and strategy, on account<br />
