The board members also included Karl Hans Ertl (historical revisionist journalist), Wolfgang Huber (former Bavarian constitutional judge and head of the NPD legal department) and Klaus Christoph Marloh (former SS officer and partner of Nation Europa Verlag ).

The declared aim was to “secure a true German image of history and the transmission of the real German conditions in the last 75 years for future generations”. The association worked to establish an archive and a politically oriented specialist library. The publications were sent to libraries, historians and students with a value of around 250,000 DM, according to their own admission. The activities were financed by a support group of around 1000 people. In 1995 the association celebrated its tenth anniversary in Goslar in the presence of the right-wing extremist Austrian publicist and politician Otto Scrinzi (FPÖ), who gave the keynote address.

In December 2014 the AfD politician Andreas Kalbitz took over the chairmanship of the organization. After Kalbitz's activity in the association became known, he left the association. On April 16, 2016, the members elected a new board at a general meeting in Fulda: 1. Chairman is Martin Pfeiffer (Graz), who is also responsible for the Society for Free Publishing e. V. cites. The second chairman is Elke Sander (Fürstenwalde) and the treasurer is Rainer Höke (Preußisch Oldendorf), the managing director of the Deutsche Verlagsgesellschaft (DVG).
