Zusammenfassung:
With the end of the First World War, Germany became a 'postcolonial' power. The Treaty of Versailles in 1919 transformed Germany's overseas colonies in Africa and the Pacific into League of Nations Mandates, administered by other powers. Yet a number of Germans rejected this 'postcolonial' status, arguing instead that Germany was simply an interrupted colonial power and would soon reclaim these territories. With the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, irredentism seemed once again on the agenda, and these colonialist advocates actively and loudly promoted their colonial cause in the Third Reich. Examining the domestic activities of these colonialist lobbying organizations, 'Empire in the Heimat' demonstrates the continued place of overseas colonialism in shaping German national identity after the end of formal empire.
