On Adolf Hitler he wrote "you walk among the people as their saviour". His most well-known work in Nazi Germany was Cantata for November 9, a eulogy to the Nazi "martyrs" of the Feldherrnhalle which praised Hitler in Messianic terms.

Böhme established the Deutsches Kulturwerk Europäischen Geistes in 1950, an extreme right organisation that had the stated mission of promoting German culture.
Thus group was active until 1996. He also set up his own youth group, the Deutsches Kulturwerk Europäischen Geistes in 1952, an organisation that later merged with the extremist Wiking-Jugend.
