The pro­gram reviews and fur­ther devel­ops the Nazi past of Ber­tels­mann, the largest Eng­lish lan­guage pub­lish­er in the world. In addi­tion to being the largest sup­pli­er of books to the Wehrma­cht and SS dur­ing World War II, the fir­m’s top exec­u­tive has been a mem­ber of the SS. The pro­gram also high­lights the appoint­ment of Michael Nau­mann to be cul­tur­al min­is­ter of Ger­many. Nau­mann had pre­vi­ous­ly served as the head of Hen­ry Holt & Co., after it was pur­chased by the Nazi-con­nect­ed Von Holzbrinck firm.
