Summary

This study of the 1930s German-Japanese alliance employs sources in both languages to reveal the role of mass media in shaping and promoting an ideology which, by creating a niche for Japan in the Nazi worldview, convinced German Nazis to identify with non-Aryans and non-Germans to become adherents of Hitler.
