Abstract
This special edition ofCentral European Historyis concerned with how America viewed Germany, and my contribution focuses on how, beginning with Hitler's rise to power, Germany became a point of reference for the emerging American civil-rights movement. By looking atCrisis, published by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), andOpportunity, published by the National Urban League, as well as African-American newspapers, such as thePittsburgh Courier,Chicago Defender,Amsterdam News, Afro-American, Negro Digest,Ebony, andJet, I will show how the black community discussed developments in Germany, America's struggle against Nazi racism, and the black soldiers' experience in postwar Germany.
