"In the Name of Germany" - a German propaganda booklet for the annexation of Austria. Leipzig, 1938
In Deutschlands Namen! Friedrich List und gros deutchland - in the name of Germany! Friedrich Liszt and Greater Germany, by Friedrich Lenz. LUHE & CO. Leipzig, 1938. German.
A German propaganda booklet published as part of a series of propaganda booklets leading up to the annexation of Austria to Germany. The booklet details the teachings of the renowned German economist Friedrich Liszt (1789-1846) in the context of Germany's imperial intentions in the late 1930s. In the 19th century, Liszt (along with Karl Marx) was the most influential German theorist. Liszt linked German nationalism to the unification of the German economy, and called for the unification of all of Germany and the strengthening of German nationalism. In his writings, Liszt emphasized the national idea and insisted on the special needs of each nation considering the circumstances and especially the level of its development.
The writer harnesses Liszt's teachings to explain Germany's intentions on the eve of the annexation of Austria (the Anschluss), and argues that a German takeover of land which doesn't belong to it territorially throughout Europe is an appropriate act, because in the occupied territories there is a significant number of German inhabitants of origin. Such pamphlets were published in Germany in order to prepare the ground for its invasion of neighboring countries, first and foremost Austria, and to present this act to the German public as a return to the original German nationalism, rather than as a despicable act of forceful invasion and brutal takeover of territories that are not its own.
