Recensione

'Gerwin Strobl demonstrates in his study of German (and especially Nazi) views of Britain in the years of the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich that Germans had a widely shared sense of Britain being a fellow Germanic nation and so, surely, a kindred spirit.' The Spectator

'... an original, well-researched book'. Ralph Elliott, Canberra Times

'... an immensely enjoyable read, written by a clever historian, who has organized his material brilliantly ... a highly readable book on the views of the Nazi hierarchy towards Britain ... a very important and well structured volume. It will prove essential to anyone interested in the history of German perceptions of Britain. The book also demonstrates that the best history consists of that which is well thought out and which does not necessarily need recourse to theory.' Ethnic and Racial Studies

Descrizione del libro

Despite Hitler's tactical duplicity at Munich, there is overwhelming evidence that one of the Nazis' fundamental objectives was to forge an alliance with Britain. This book discusses both the Nazis' attempt to emulate the 'ruthlessness' of the British Empire and the surprisingly enduring affection for Britain among ordinary Germans.
