Work

He became known abroad with his contributions on the relationship of the Catholic Church to National Socialism. His work entitled Pius XII. and Germany from 2000 pursued the goal of the complex state of research almost bring a wider audience and stand out as usual by the accusations or apologetic writings on this subject. At the same time it was the first science-based response to John Cornwell's book Pius XII. - The Pope, who has been silent. Feldkamp corrected the views Cornwell about the history of the Serbian Concordat of 1916 and pointed to glaring translation errors in Italian language documents in the English as in the German edition.
