Nazi Elite-School Pupils as Youth Ambassadors: Between Fascist Italy and the Third Reich
Focused on transnational exchanges, this article examines a series of trips to Fascist Italy that were undertaken by pupils of Nazi elite schools in their role as youth ambassadors of the Third Reich. As a form of cultural diplomacy that continued during the Second World War, these trips were part of Fascist and Nazi efforts to foster a new cultural order. However, although intended to strengthen ties between the two regimes, the trips also laid …
Classical Controversies: Reception of Graeco-Roman Antiquity in the Twenty-First Century
Making Prussians, Raising Germans: A Cultural History of Prussian State-Building after Civil War, 1866–1935
Jasper Heinzen’s first monograph aims to reframe historical interpretations of ‘1866 and all that’, focusing in particular on the ramifications of civil war within Germany, rather than privileging external conflicts with Italy and Austria. This concentration on what he terms the ‘German war’ (p. 4) allows Heinzen to explore in great depth what it might mean for an annexed state such as Hanover, the subject of this detailed case study, to be subsu…
The Peculiarities of German Philhellenism
Studies of German philhellenism have often focused upon the idealization of Greece by German intellectuals, rather than considering the very real, at times reciprocal, at times ambivalent or even brutal, relationship which existed between contemporary Germans and the Greek state from the Greek War of Independence onwards.

Xenophon and the Nazis: A case study in the politicization of Greek thought through educational propaganda
In National Socialist Germany, radical reinterpretations of Classical texts were always on the agenda
Contested Commemorations: Republican War Veterans and Weimar Political Culture, by Benjamin Ziemann
Views of the Weimar Republic as essentially anarchic, unloved and unmourned have been extensively questioned in recent scholarship. Still, popular pronouncements tend to perpetuate such impressions—witness one critic of the recent Berlin Metropolis 1919–1933 exhibition at the Neue Galerie in New York, who began his appraisal with the sweeping statement that ‘Nobody in Germany liked the Weimar Republic’. Benjamin Ziemann’s monograph provides a fas…
Books worth (re)reading
It is a telling irony that the era which had, at its outset, been hailed as the ‘century of the child’ should, within a few decades, have caused a myriad children such untold suffering. In the Holo
