Items related to Franco and Hitler: Spain, Germany, and World War II
Synopsis
Was Franco sympathetic to Nazi Germany? Why didn't Spain enter World War II? In what ways did Spain collaborate with the Third Reich? How much did Spain assist Jewish refugees? This is the first book in any language to answer these intriguing questions. Stanley Payne, a leading historian of modern Spain, explores the full range of Franco's relationship with Hitler, from 1936 to the fall of the Reich in 1945. But as Payne brilliantly shows, relations between these two dictators were not only a matter of realpolitik. These two titanic egos engaged in an extraordinary tragi-comic drama often verging on the dark absurdity of a Beckett or Ionesco play. While Payne investigates the evolving relationship of the two regimes up to the conclusion of World War II, his principal concern is the enigma of Spain's unique position during the Second World War, as a fascist country struggling to maintain a tortured neutrality. Why Spain did not enter the war as a German ally, joining with Hitler to seize Gibraltar and close the Mediterranean to the British navy, is at the centre of Payne's narrative. Franco's only personal meeting with Hitler in 1940 to discuss precisely this is recounted here in groundbreaking detail that also sheds significant new light on the Spanish government's vacillating policy toward Jewish refugees, the Holocaust, and Spain's German connection throughout the duration of the war.

Franco and Hitler
Seller: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spain
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Condition: Muy bueno. : Este libro explora la relación entre Franco y Hitler, desde 1936 hasta la caída del Reich en 1945. Investiga la evolución de la relación de los dos regímenes hasta la conclusión de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y aborda el enigma de la posición única de España durante la guerra, como un país fascista que luchaba por mantener una torturada neutralidad. ¿Por qué España no entró en la guerra como aliado alemán, uniéndose a Hitler para apoderarse de Gibraltar y cerrar el Mediterráneo a la marina británica? La única reunión personal de Franco con Hitler, en 1940 para discutir precisamente esto, se relata aquí con gran detalle, lo que también arroja nueva luz sobre la política vacilante del gobierno español hacia los refugiados judíos, sobre el Holocausto y sobre la conexión alemana de España durante toda la guerra.
