Colonial Business in Postcolonial Germany: The Imperial Afterlives of C. Woermann, 1919–1945

“This connection between colonialism and National Socialism is particularly significant when considering the war and occupation in Eastern Europe. It underscores that the ideology and practices of German colonialism did not simply vanish but rather persisted and were reconfigured within the Nazi regime.”
