For his dissertation on the history of German-Hungarian relations in World War II, Nebelin a. a. at the Political Archive of the Foreign Office in Bonn and at the Federal Military Archive in Freiburg im Breisgau. The work is based on extensive sources. Even Frank-Lothar Kroll and Manfred Nebelins processing of the first two volumes of documents relative to foreign policy of the Federal Republic of Germany (1989/90) was very well received among experts. The edition is considered very careful.

His partial biography on General Erich Ludendorff met with great interest. It has been compared to Wolfram Pytas Hindenburg biography and parallels have been drawn. The historian Max Bloch considers it to be part of an “oeuvre that will continue to be fundamental to political history”. The military historian Klaus-Jürgen Bremm summed up that the work offers "an atmospherically dense story of the rise and fall of a militarist". For Ernst Piper , also a historian, Nebelin's “great merit” is that older biographies from the far right of the political spectrum ( Franz Uhle-Wettler and Wolfgang Venohr ) became redundant. The work is "comprehensive [] and reliable []". According to the political scientist Peter Graf von Kielmansegg , Nebelin's work on the history of the First World War is very clear. Graf von Kielmansegg particularly praised Nebelin's approach of not having demonized Ludendorff. "With his easily readable, historical judgment, he [...] has done an important preliminary work for an overall biography of Ludendorff that has yet to be written", is the summary of the historian Volker Ullrich . Nebelin u. a. by the reviewer of the military history magazine , who warned the author of a “modest analytical claim” and “fading out the post-war period” and pointed out that above all familiar things had been processed.
