"Deutschsprachige Songs über den Nationalsozialismus sind ein bedeutender Bestandteil der Pop-Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Nahezu alle namhaften Songschreiber haben sich seit 1964 in die zeitgeschichtlichen Deutungskämpfe um die NS-Vergangenheit eingemischt. Ole Löding untersucht in »Deutschland Katastrophenstaat«: Der Nationalsozialismus im politischen Song der Bundesrepublik mehr als 300 Werke von der 68er-Revolte bis zur Gegenwart und zeigt, dass der politische Song ein Seismograph ist, an dem sich der popkulturelle Umgang mit dem Dritten Reich beispielhaft ablesen lässt. Ein wichtiger Beitrag zum Stand der (musikalischen) Vergangenheitsbewältigung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Ole Löding (Dr. phil.), Literaturwissenschaftler und Kulturhistoriker in Köln, war viele Jahre als Lehrender an der Universität zu Köln tätig. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte sind populäre deutschsprachige Musik, Literatur und Politik sowie Intermedialität."
