Scope and Content

The file contains numerous typewritten extracts of books and articles published on England and English culture between 1900 and 1939 in Germany. The extracts reflect German author's, intellectual's, diplomat's, and politician's appreciation for the English mentality and its military and imperialist politics. Furthermore, the file contains extracts of speeches, lectures, and articles on the German-British relations published during the Nazi period, highlighting the similarities of both nation's cultures and mentalities as a basis for an imagined joint action against the Soviet Union. The extracts had been divided into several sections on “German Appreciation” and “German Praise of Britain”. The file also contains extracts of literary texts written by classical authors (Theodor Fontane, Friedrich Schiller, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg) on England and the English culture. Furthermore, it contains a typewritten document on “The Nazis at War” and especially the “War on Two Fronts” published in 1942 by an English source in a series on “Materials on Germany”.
