The BfV was founded to prevent totalitarian organizations from taking root in Germany, and they observe Scientology alongside other groups as Neo Nazis and Islamic Extremists.

The original German and English versions are available.  The German version (starting on page 210) appears to be more complete than the English version (starting on page 284).

This study examines the confinement programs and camps that Scientology operates as supposedly rehabilitative facilities for ”deviant” members of its ”elite” Sea Organization. These programs, known collectively as the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF), put coerced participants through regimes of harsh physical punishment, forced self-confessions, social isolation, hard labour, and intense doctrinal study, all as part of leadership- designed efforts to regain members’ ideological commitment. The confinement that participants experience, combined with forms of physical maltreatment, intensive ideological study, and forced confessions, allows social scientists to speak of the RPF as a ”brainwashing” program.
