Abstract

Alemania y la guerra civil española: información y propaganda

The article studies the propaganda strategies employed in Spain by Hitler’s régime during the Spanish Civil War, nearly always with the approval and cooperation of Franco’s authorities. The Nazi party representatives in Spain and important members of the German embassy in Madrid launched many campaigns in 1936-1939, not only in favour of Germany, but also for strengthening Franco’s government. To do that they used all existing communication media, most importantly Radio Nacional de España, that was created thanks to the supply of the broadcasting equipments by Germany, and by the cooperation of the press agencies of both countries.
