Overview

The Story of Chile's Collusion with the Nazis During World War II; After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour and Hitler's subsequent declaration of war upon the US, Chile's reluctance to sever diplomatic ties with Nazi Germany allowed it to maximise its opportunities there, influencing Chilean politicians, military operations, and the popular media. This is the story of Chile, of its efforts to maintain neutrality, its abandonment of neutrality, and the significance - long and short term - of those actions. Based on documentary evidence from the archives of the Chilean Foreign Office, and from US, British, German and Japanese sources, Chile And The Nazis is one the first books to provide comprehensive evidence of the events and circumstances surrounding Chile's refusal to comply with the will of the White House in 1942.
