Dimensionen der Mittaterschaft: Die europaische Kollaboration mit dem Dritten Reich

The fact that European fascism and National Socialism, probably the most researched era in world history, almost 75 years after the end of the Second World War did not yet provide an overall picture of European collaboration with the Third Reich, can rightly be seen as a great, perhaps even the greatest, desideratum regarding this historical complex of problems. Klaus Kellmann has taken on the sensitive task, and he is not limited to the individual analyzes of all 24 states that were subject to German terrorism until 1944/45. In the final chapter European Memory and European Identity , he brings his research results into the shaping of tomorrow’s Europe: Without ruthless processing and ensuring collaboration with the Third Reich, there will be no common European narrative and no common European culture of remembrance - that big project, with which historical science on the Old Continent will be central and decisive in the coming years and decades.
