La naturaleza del nazismo

This essay provides the difficulties for integrating the German nazi experience within the borders of generic fascism. After a quick vision of some scholar positions in favour of considering nazism as a peculiar fact, without real links with French or Italian fascism, it offers a balanced conceptual approach, based upon the existence of a hard core ofnazist ideology -the racial project- and the importance of other aspects in nazi propaganda, which were perceived as something fundamental and atractive for German society at that moment. and which were the fascist features of Nazism. These ones allowed the access of nazism to power and the realization, in propicious conditions as the crisis of the end of 30s and Second World War, the basic and specific targets of hitlerian project.
