After World War II he wrote three large books on Nazi Germany. He was also a painter and collector, mainly of pottery.

The House Built on Sand Tekijä: Gerald Reitlinger
Published in 1960, this book stands the test of time. The author used many of the best primary sources of his day. Many of these same primary sources are, for some reason or other, dispensed with by many of todays historians. That being said, there are very few decent books on the German Occupation policies in Russia during WWII, and this book still remains near the top. Highly recommend.
Based almost entirely on original German documents, including the captured files of the SS leadership, The SS: Alibi of a Nation gives a final account of the Nazi Praetorian Guard. With steadily mounting tension, the story moves from the origins of the SS before 1923 to its supremacy, twenty years later, as the most appalling instrument of political and military terror known to history.
