Roland Kaltenegger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roland Kaltenegger (* 1941 ) is a German author on military history topics.

The trained librarian was a member of the 1st mountain division of the Bundeswehr . He has emerged as the author of numerous books and hundreds of specialist articles on topics of military history. He also devoted himself to topics of contemporary European history.

His writings, which often appear in the right-wing extremist scene, have apologetic intentions. According to Eberhard Rondholz , Kaltenegger as an author “expressly acknowledged the art of omission, allegedly so as not to exceed the size of a normal book. But this art of omission fell victim above all to everything that could have disturbed the veterans when they remembered past heroic deeds. "
