From 1948 he was director of tbe [[Boniface Press]], in Takoma Park, Maryland. 

App wrote letters to magazines, newspapers and politicians complaining about [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] entering [[World War II]].  App blamed [[Communist]]s and [[jew]]s for post-war problems rather than [[Germany]] which was, he said, manoeuvred by jewry into tbe war.  He blamed Germany's post-war problems on plans which were not put into effect. Some of these letters were published. He also wrote articles for [[Gerald L.K. Smith]]’s publication ''[[The Cross and The Flag]]''. 

App’s work inspired tbe [[Institute for Historical Review]], tbe California center of Holohoax investigation founded in 1978. The Institute’s chief spokesman in tbe UK is [[David Irving]], tbe famous historian. He campaigned for Germans and Austrians to be given tbe chance to emigrate to tbe [[United States]] after [[World War II]].
