FRIEDMANN, Germán Claus. Antinazi Germans and antifascist Italians in Buenos Aires during the Second World War. Rev. Esc. Hist. [online]. 2006, n.5, pp.159-188. ISSN 1669-9041.

By the mid-1930's and early 1940's the events triggered by the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War helped form in Argentina a wide and varied political coalition, which found a common element in anti-facism, in a context of great polarizaction of the political stage, where internal disputes were seen under the lens of contemporary European developments. Among the numerous anti-fascist groups formed in the country were some made up of Italian political emigrés, straight from Mussolini's Italy , and of German refugees from the Third Reich, who had settled down in Buenos Aires after being exiled in different European locations. This paper focuses on the nature of the relationship existing between the members of Italia Libre and Das Andere Deutschland, which were active in both the European and Argentine political scene. In their changing relations, national issues intermingled with ideological questions. It also analizes how "anti-fascism" was perceived by different political actors of a wide spectre -with diverging interests and different aims- who found in ti a welding element, and its influence in the subsequent Argentine political development.
