Why is it important?
This essay offers a new perspective on political opposition to fascism and Nazism in the early 1940s. It shows how Italian intellectuals and militaries seeking contact with German peers, prepared for resistance and developed the vision of a united post-war Europe. The essay provides a basis for future explorations of this neglected path of European intellectual history.
