Description
Book SynopsisNazis, fascists and vÃlkisch conservatives in different European countries not only cooperated internationally in the fields of culture, science, economy, and persecution of Jews, but also developed ideas for a racist and ethno-nationalist Europe under Hitler. The present volume attempts to combine an analysis of Nazi Germanyâs transnational relations with an evaluation of the discourse that accompanied these relations.
