Representing the Indian, Imagining the Volksgemeinschaft. Indianthusiasm and Nazi Propaganda in German Print Media

The German fascination with Native Americans has been a tradition of several centuries, beginning with the first reports about the New World and its peoples. The main features of German Indian imagery have evolved since the early nineteenth century and have evoked the phenomenon of mass euphoria for Indians in the late 1800s, a euphoria which lasted for more than one hundred years. This fascination has been a source of curiosity for both Native peoples and scholars.
