In 1998, he and historians Niels Bo Poulsen and Peter Scharff Smith published the book Under hagekors og Dannebrog - danskere i Waffen SS (Under svastika and Dannebrog - Danes in Waffen SS), acclaimed for its non-apologist and detailed description of the Danes who volunteered for service in the Waffen SS on the Eastern front.[2][3] Their 2016 book Waffen-SS : Europas nazistiske soldater (Waffen-SS: Europe's Nazi soldiers) has been translated to Dutch.[4]

In addition to his World War II era publications he wrote Danskere på Vestfronten 1914-1918 (Danes on the Western Front 1914-1918), which also received very positive reviews and won the 'History book of the year' (Årets historiske bog) award in 2009.[1][5]

Since 2010 he has been a reviewer of non-fiction books for Weekendavisen.[1]
