- Summary:
- The Spanish Civil War, begun in July 1936 by a right-wing coup d'etat against the Second Republic, was a preliminary round of World War II. Hitler's and Mussolini's cooperation with General Franco resulted in the Axis agreement of October 1936 and the subsequent Pact of Steel of May 1939, immediately following the end of the Civil War.This study presents comprehensive documentation of Hitler's use of the upheaval in Spain to strengthen the Third Reich diplomatically, ideologically, economically, and militarily.This book, based on little-known German records and recently opened Spanish archives, fills a major gap in our understanding of one of this century's most significant conflicts.
