Planning a "modern colonization on European soil"?
German scientific travels and expeditions to Greece during national socialism
Maria Zarifi
pp. 217-231
Colonizing the European soil may sound awkward at best, given that the term is associated with the European settlement overseas that reached its climax during the long nineteenth century. It sounds even more awkward when the target becomes Europe itself and the settler is a country that belongs to the same geographical territory. This country was Nazi Germany. So, what triggered the Nazis to turn to their neighbourhood instead of going overseas in order to exercise colonial policy? Why did they want to adopt such a policy in the first place, and how did they plan it?
