Spaniards and Nazi Germany: Collaboration in the New Order

Cover
University of Missouri Press, 2000 - 250 Seiten
Using recently declassified documents from Spain and the United States, personal interviews, and unpublished and published Spanish, German, British, and U.S. records, Spaniards and Nazi Germany makes a significant contribution to the understanding of Hispano-German relations during the 1930s and 1940s. This study shows that Naziphiles within the Spanish Falange, Spain's Fascist party, made a concerted effort to bring Spain into World War II, and that only the indecisiveness of dictator Francisco Franco and diplomatic mistakes by the Nazis prevented them from succeeding.

Seite 233 - I was a student in Berlin. Those were the initial years of the National Socialist regime, when here [in Spain] and in France the Popular Front was incubating.
