History

Founded by former SS-Sturmbannführer Arthur Ehrhardt and Herbert Boehme in 1951, it took its title from a phrase sometimes used by Sir Oswald Mosley to describe his Europe a Nation vision. Adopting a Europe-wide vision, writers such as Gaston-Armand Amaudruz and Maurice Bardèche were closely associated with the publication.

Initially its largest single shareholder was Swedish pro-National Socialist and former Olympic athlete Carl-Ehrenfried Carlberg.[1] It was edited by Ehrhardt in association with a board of five made up of Per Engdahl, Hans Oehler, Paul van Tienen, Erik Laerum and Erich Kern.[2]

In later years, the publication would become more closely associated with Deutsche Liga für Volk und Heimat. The publication has been accused of giving space to National Socialists and has been investigated by the German government to this end. It has also been associated with Holocaust skepticism and praised Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he announced a conference on the topic. The magazine was renamed Nation und Europa in February 1990. Since 2000, Nation und Europa has merged with Lesen und Schenken. In its 59th year, the last issue was published in November 2009.
