1995年,他出版了世界上第一部德語超文本小說《報價機》(Die Quotenmaschine)。他的第二本小說《米特》(Mitte)出版於2001年,被《明鏡周刊》譽為「傑作」。 2002年,他出版了第三部小說《黃金城》(Stadt des Goldes),故事背景設定在龐特城。 [2] 這三部小說構成了奧勒的城市三部曲。 2004年,奧勒受德國歌德學院邀請,前往拉馬拉擔任駐地作家。在那裡,奧勒記錄了約旦河西岸巴勒斯坦人的生活,並發表了亞西爾·阿拉法特去世前不久接受的最後一次採訪。 [3] 奧勒也曾在特拉維夫和耶路撒冷擔任駐地作家。 2008年,他與維姆·文德斯共同編劇了由丹尼斯·霍珀主演的電影《巴勒莫槍擊案》。 閃電戰:納粹德國的毒品 2015年9月,基彭豪爾與維奇出版社出版了奧勒的首部非虛構作品《全面屠殺:納粹德國的毒品》(Der totale Rausch: Drogen im Dritten Reich);該書於2016年以英文版《閃電戰:納粹德國的毒品》(Blitzed: Drugs in Nazi Germany)出版。 [4][5] 在美國出版後,該書成為《紐約時報》暢銷書。 [6] 在書中,奧勒研究了精神活性藥物,尤其是甲基安非他命等興奮劑,在二戰軍事史上所扮演的角色,並得出結論:許多德國軍事和政治領導人,尤其是阿道夫·希特勒,在戰爭期間都使用過精神活性藥物。 [7][8][9] 這本書受到了一些歷史學家的稱讚:安東尼·比弗稱《閃電戰》是“一部非凡的研究著作。奧勒的敘述讓我們以不同的視角看待這個被廣泛研究的時期”;伊恩·克肖 (Ian Kershaw) 將其描述為“非常優秀且極其有趣……一篇深入研究的嚴肅學術著作”,而德國著名歷史學家漢斯·蒙森 (Hansmmsen) 則是改變了《德國模式》。 [10][11] 然而,其他歷史學家並不認同奧勒的寫作方法。德國歷史學家尼古拉斯·瓦赫斯曼 (Nikolaus Wachsmann) 寫道,奧勒「似乎將事實與虛構混為一談。[...] 他為證據添油加醋,加入流行文化元素(“日耳曼逍遙騎士”),並用時髦的雙關語(“高級做法”)點綴。這種風格能否吸引英語讀者還有待的故事:借用奧勒的旅程,212] 12[2],還有待12[212] 12會一次達格瑪·赫爾佐格 (Dagmar Herzog) 表示,「奧勒的分析經不起仔細推敲。」(…) 任何想要深入了解納粹時期的人都必須警惕一本幹擾和歪曲事實而非澄清真相的書籍。 [13] 詹姆斯·普格 (James Pugh) 認為,儘管這本書“引人入勝且引人入勝”,但“其語氣、學術性以及與文獻的互動令人擔憂”。 [14] 理查‧艾文斯 (Richard J. Evans),2008 年至 2014 年劍橋大學皇家歷史學教授,著有《第三帝國史》(History of the Third Reich),稱《閃電戰》是「一份粗俗且極其不準確的記述」。 [15] 他還寫道,這本書“在道德和政治上都危險”,因為它暗示希特勒對其行為不負責任。奧勒反駁了這個說法。 [16] 埃文斯回應:「《閃電戰》不屬於嚴肅歷史的世界,而屬於『後真相』和『另類事實』的新領域。」[17] 波西米亞人-領導德國反納粹抵抗運動的戀人 2020年,奧勒的第二本非虛構作品問世:《波西米亞人-領導德國反納粹抵抗運動的戀人》。 《紐約時報》寫道:「這是一部關於一對年輕德國抵抗者的故事,內容詳盡,研究細緻,讀起來就像一部驚悚小說。」[18] 出版品

In 1995 he published Die Quotenmaschine, the world's first hypertext novel in German. His second novel, Mitte, was published in 2001 and praised by Der Spiegel as his 'masterpiece', followed by his third, Stadt des Goldes (city of gold) in 2002, set in Ponte City.[2] These three novels form Ohler's City Trilogy.

In 2004, Ohler was invited by the German Goethe-Institut to act as writer-in-residence in Ramallah. There, Ohler wrote about the life of the Palestinians in the West Bank and published the last interview Yassir Arafat gave, shortly before his death.[3] Ohler has also worked as writer-in-residence in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

In 2008, he co-wrote the movie Palermo Shooting with Wim Wenders, starring Dennis Hopper.

Blitzed: Drugs in Nazi Germany

In September 2015, Kiepenheuer & Witsch published Ohler's first non-fiction work, Der totale Rausch: Drogen im Dritten Reich; the book appeared in English as Blitzed: Drugs in Nazi Germany in 2016.[4][5] Upon publication in the US, it became a New York Times bestseller.[6] In the book, Ohler researches what role psychoactive drugs, particularly stimulants such as methamphetamine, played in the military history of World War II, concluding that many of the German military and political leadership—especially Adolf Hitlerused psychoactive drugs during the war.[7][8][9]

The book was praised by some historians: Antony Beevor calls Blitzed 'a remarkable work of research. Ohler's account makes us look at this densely studied period rather differently'; Ian Kershaw describes it as 'very good and extremely interesting ... a serious piece of scholarship very well-researched' and Hans Mommsen, one of Germany's leading historians, refers to Blitzed as 'changing the overall picture'.[10][11]

However, other historians disagreed with Ohler's approach. German historian, Nikolaus Wachsmann wrote that Ohler "appears to mix fact and fiction. [...] He spices up the evidence, throws in pop culture references ("Teutonic Easy Riders"), and garnishes it with snazzy puns ("High Hitler"). It remains to be seen if this recipe will appeal to anglophone readers. To borrow Ohler's style: will they experience a big buzz, or a bad trip?".[12] Dagmar Herzog expressed the view that 'Ohler's analysis does not withstand close scrutiny. (…) Anyone seeking a deepened understanding of the Nazi period must be wary of a book that provides more distraction and distortion than clarification.'[13] James Pugh judged that while the book is an 'engaging and entertaining piece of journalistic history', it was 'troubling based on its tone, scholarship and engagement with the literature'.[14] Richard J. Evans, Regius Professor of History at the University of Cambridge from 2008 to 2014, author of History of the Third Reich, called Blitzed 'a crass and dangerously inaccurate account'.[15] He also wrote that the book is 'morally and politically dangerous', because it implies that Hitler was not responsible for his actions. Ohler rejected this claim.[16] Evans replied: "'Blitzed' belongs not in the world of serious history, but in the new landscape of 'post-truth' and 'alternative facts'".[17]

The Bohemians – The Lovers who led Germany's Resistance against the Nazis

In 2020, Ohler's second non-fiction book appeared: The Bohemians – The Lovers who led Germany's Resistance against the Nazis. "A detailed and meticulously researched tale about a pair of young German resisters that reads like a thriller", writes The New York Times.[18]
