My article on this is online in open access: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.....
It's part of a special issue in the Journal of Modern European History (edited by Philipp Müller and Christina von Hodenberg) on "varieties of resistance to European integration": journals.sagepub.com/toc/meha/22/3.
It was a great pleasure to chat with Michael J. Geary of the EU History Podcast about my research on the European outreach of Wehrmacht veterans in the 1950s. Listen to me explain how and why the elites of a former occupying army chose to a European path. open.spotify.com/episode/2w3e...

Read my article for the Journal of Modern European History. I tell the unlikely story of former Wehrmacht soldiers associating with French veterans under a European banner - inter alia with the goal of helping German war criminals.
