The debate on supposed fascist influences on Afrikaner nationalists, \nparticularly the mainstream National Party (NP), as opposed to more \nextremist groups, has mostly centred around alleged links or parallels with \nNazi Germany, or whether anti-British sentiment was more key. An often overlooked \ninfluence was similarly mainstream, historically anti-British Irish \nnationalism. Comparing Daniel Malan and the Purified and later Reunited \nNP with Eamon de Valera and Fianna Fáil (FF) in the 1930s and 1940s, this \nstudy addresses similarities in areas such as republicanism, language, religion, \nneutrality, and authoritarian tendencies, but argues that constitutionalism \ntempered clerical and political authoritarian influence. Malan and the NP \ndiffered in their approach to neutrality from De Valera and FF, who were also \nless affected by the era’s antisemitism.
