The economic, military, and diplomatic bonds between Nazi Germany and Spain have received much attention (García Pérez, 1994; Leitz, 1996, 1999; Viñas, 2001; Bernecker, 2002, among others), but we still lack an overall approach to the cultural relations between the two countries (Hera, 2002: 223–431, stops in 1939; see the first pages of Sanz, 2010). This is an important historiographical issue: when the National Socialists came to power in 1933, culture had already been an essential part of German foreign policy for a long time.
