“…In this sense, Martin makes a very important point: the New Order sparked genuine interest because it seemed to address real issues. 25 This is something that comes across clearly throughout our special section, showing how, while engagement with the New Order was marked by an asymmetrical power dynamic, it did not entail directly copying Nazi-fascist ideas and methods. Rather the creation of a milieu in which different political movements pursued their own agendas, accepting, in the case of non-belligerent nations such as Spain, the Nazi-fascist hegemony insofar as it aided them in achieving their own aims and developing their own projects.…”

“…As Benjamin Martin has demonstrated, the Nazi-fascist cultural New Order, while ultimately aimed at achieving hegemony in Europe, succeeded in mobilising supporters throughout the continent. 23 This was not just a clear manifestation of the pivotal role these countries played within the post-liberal departure from democracy of the interwar period, but also of the mobilising power of the Europeanist discourse. As Ute Frevert has argued, Germany's 'love affair with Europe' in the interwar period had a defensive character that it maintained under Nazi rule.…”

The Second World War has had a profound effect on recent history, how we understand Europe and what we consider necessary to build stable democratic societies. At a juncture in which the most important legacy of that conflict, the European Union, is being questioned and where nationalist populism is on the rise, it seems particularly important to look back and re-evaluate the global conflict in a new light. Indeed, the conflict left no European nation untouched. The Spanish case shows how the war had a serious impact not only on the belligerent nations but also neutral and non-belligerent ones. This special section aims to explore the dynamics of relations between Francoist Spain and Nazi Germany during the Second World War, and in doing so contribute to a better understanding of the conflict. The analyses brought together in these pages aim to place Francoist Spain in the broader context of the global conflict, focusing particularly on the transnational contacts between fascist and para-fascist movements, 1 Spain's engagement with the Nazi-fascist European project and the role of neutral countries in the midst of total war. Rather than focusing excessively on Spain's potential entry into the Second World War, the different contributions look more broadly at Spanish-German relations in this period. Such a viewpoint illuminates not only the role Spain had within Nazi foreign policy or the inner workings of Francoism and Nazism, but also key themes in the field of European history.

“…As mentioned above, English in particular was to become the focus of German neophilology as an originally noble Germanic language corrupted by the "French-Jewish disease" of parliamentarism, according to the Nazi ideologist Rosenberg (1930: 643). In this context Martin (2017) claims that German academics during the Third Reich saw the German nation in analogy to the revered culture of Greece, while the French and English were understood as mere civilizations like Rome, perpetuating the Greek culture in diluted, commercialized form.…”

“…Similar terms around a 'New Europe' were being debated in quite a few countries on the continent, so that writers, public health experts and women leaders from Axis-allied and occupied countries all over Europe willingly engaged with the different modalities of this Axis internationalism. 54 In this broader context of multilateral projects, the Hitler Youth also carried out its 'cultural work' at European level. The Reichsjugendfu¨hrung (the Reich youth leadership) interpreted these geopolitical changes as a 'clean sweep', recognized in the emergence of 'a new concept of Europe' a broad space for action: the 'recently emerged Europe will be young and will also be a Europe for young people'.…”

Spanish Fascist Women’s Transnational Relations during the Second World War: Between Ideology and Realpolitik

Spanish fascist women played a very active role in the Falange’s cross-border relations with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy during the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War. From the very beginning, fascist women took a preeminent place in these contacts and exchanges in order to see with their own eyes how both fascist models were at a practical level. These relationships between fascist women’s organizations were born out of deep ideological affinity and were especially fluid, firstly on a bilateral level and after 1940 on the ‘New Order’ Europe-wide multilateral, transnational collaboration. However, they lacked neither of political calculation nor could abstract from the wider frame of international politics in such an eminently war period. As this article will show, Falangist women used these fluid but less studied relationships to consolidate their own political position at home and explore other ways of political participation in a Nazi-Fascist New Europe, while at the same time trying to secure there a pre-eminent place for non-belligerent Spain. In the end, concerns about the own survival of the Franco dictatorship as the fate of war clearly changed in 1943, let ideological affinity succumb to the diplomatic conveniences they had once meant to overcome.
