Schiffer Publishing Ltd. (also known as Schiffer Military History) is a family-owned publisher of nonfiction books. Based in Atglen, Pennsylvania, its coverage includes antiques, architecture and design, arts and crafts, collectibles, lifestyle, military history, and militaria. Schiffer's military imprint has been criticized by two American historians as providing a distorted portrayal of the German armed forces during World War II.

Reception

Schiffer Publishing has been described by American historians Ronald Smelser and Edward J. Davies in their 2006 work The Myth of the Eastern Front as one of the leading publishers of war romancing literature, second in North America only to the Canadian publisher J.J. Fedorowicz. According to Smelser and Davies, Schiffer provides a platform for authors who present an uncritical and ahistorical portrayal of the German war effort during the Soviet-German war of 1941–1945.{{sfn|Smelser|Davies|2008|pp=158, 159}}

Schiffer has a strong focus on the German side of the conflict, with 204 titles in its 1996 military history catalogue being dedicated to the German war effort, out of a total of 234 titles. The catalogue described one of Schiffer's titles as the story of "the great aces" who "could not win, yet they fought to the final hour in an unforgettable combat saga".{{sfn|Smelser|Davies|2008|p=130}}
