Germany and Italy
2 online resources (5, 183 pages)
The files contain information on the relationship between Italy and Germany. They mention the axis between Rome and Berlin, a metaphor for the close ties between the two countries. Still, a distinction is made in the documents between Italian fascism and German Nazism. Mussolini and his politics are referenced and also portrayed in a negative light. Furthermore, the files discuss the Italian colonies such as Libya and criticize the annexation of South Tyrol, a region belonging to Austria. They analyze the Italian people and their traits and compare them to the Nordic race which is considered more moral and honorable.
