His standard work Seduction and Violence. Deutschland 1933–1945 appeared in 1986 and thus at the same time as the so-called Historikerstreft , which was triggered by the theses of Thamer's doctoral supervisor Ernst Nolte . Thamer's work, however, received positive reviews from Rudolf Augstein and Julius H. Schoeps , which is why Thamer was not involved in the heated debates.
