[Nazi-German contacts with Spain and Portugal]

The file contains correspondences of Nazi organizations with sympathizers in Spain and Portugal. Topics of the correspondence are for example a Journalistic meeting in which 'dubious' people, supposedly Jewish in appearance, invited Mr. Alfred Engling, representative of the 'German Echo', to a cultural circle. He of course refused this invitation because there were also Jews among the guests. The foreign department of the NSDAP also maintains an exchange of letters, which relates to the precise tasks of the organization located abroad. There is also talk about the financing of schools abroad in Portugal. Without the help of the German Empire, most schools abroad would have been closed. It is important that the headmasters and teachers correspond to German politics and believe in the power of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter-Partei. Through its representatives abroad, the NSDAP tries to improve Germany's reputation and thus to defend itself against the 'lying press'. Furthermore an information exchange between representatives of the NSDAP abroad and party members in Germany can be seen.
