By embracing Nazi organizations, they built a movement that peaked in 1939, before the South African administration began to intern Germans at the start of the war. Although local Germans and the party were ideologically aligned, divisions now arose between local ambitions for control of the Mandate territory, and the Nazi regime’s vision of global German unity under Hitler. The experience of war divided support for Hitler and demonstrated that Nazism was no longer useful in Southwest Africa. Samuel Huston Goodfellowis Professor Emeritus at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri. He is the author ofBetween the Swastika and the Cross of Lorraine: Fascisms in Interwar Alsaceand has published numerous works on fascism and identity.
