These anti-fascist newsletters include reports on life under fascist regimes
This collection contains two newsletters published by the Internationale Transportarbeiter-Föderation/International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF), a pan-European trade union, between 1933 and 1945.
Published in several languages, Germany Under the Swastika (Hakenkreuz über Deutschland) and Fascism (Faschismus) were originally intended to document the deeds and misdeeds of the Nazi regime in Germany. However, their scope expanded during the Second World War to include reports about occupied Europe. The Spanish Civil War also features heavily, with contributors warning that a victory for Franco would embolden other dictators.
Both publications focus on the role played by organised labour, the working class, and the political left in fascist dictatorships. Widely regarded as sober, accurate, and reliable, they provide a unique insight into life under fascist and totalitarian regimes during the twentieth century.
