This book explains Hitler's view of Britain as both Nordic ally and
role model. Gerwin Strobl shows that there was a surprising level
of affection for Britain and British culture among ordinary
Germans, from the discourses of the 1920s to the vigorous
anti-British propaganda of the war years. 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
and to emulate the 'ruthlessness' of the British Empire in dealing
with eastern Europe. For the German public, admiration of Britain
and enjoyment of its culture were enduring factors, even during
Goebbels' frequent attacks; but both the Reich leadership and
ordinary Germans otherwise lacked first-hand knowledge of Britain,
while independent sources were suppressed. The book includes a
number of unusual and striking illustrations, most of which will be
unfamiliar to modern readers.
