Opis

Despite losing their overseas empire in 1919, German colonialists in the Third Reich adamantly and publicly promoted this empire. They faced a mix of occasional support, ambivalence, or outright opposition from Nazi officials. Empire in the Heimat demonstrates the continued place of overseas colonialism in shaping German national identity.

Recenzje

Sandler intervenes in and complicates the traditional narrative of the demise of those groups and individuals that promoted overseas expansionism and lobbied for the return of Germany's colonies under the Nazi regime....Sandler's book is an important contribution to the vast body of scholarship on Nazi Germany, as it sheds light on the complexities of public support for the Nazi regime and the various and changing opportunities of loyal, single-issue dissent offered by it.
