overview
Dr. Seipp's research focuses on war and social change in modern Germany, particularly the period since 1945.
He is currently working on two research projects. The first is a social history of the American military presence in the Federal Republic of Germany from 1945-1995. The second examines the role of testimony in shaping narratives of concentration camp liberation in the United States and Germany.
