Abstract

«Gli occhi sono puntati con ammirazione e speranza verso la CNT». The Anarcho-syndacalists of the Weimar Republic and Their Link with Spain

This piece wishes to outline the specific role played by the link between the Spanish anarchism in the analysis and the production of the FAUD(AS), the main german anarchist organization in the Weimar Republic, through the journals and the documents in the Berliner Bundesarchiv. It talks about a series of events that constitute in a certain way the “pre-history” of German anarchosyndicalists’s activism during the Spanish civil war and of an experience as it was the DAS (Deutsche Anarcho-Syndikalisten) Group, created by exiles in Barcelona in 1934.
