Description
The paper presented at the international conference »The Germans, Poland and Europe, 1871—1971«, held on October 11—12 at the University A. Mickiewicz in Poznan, Poland, cites the assessment of the then British ambassador Henderson of the policy of rapprochement between the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the Third Reich. King Alexander did not try to conceal his sympathy towards Hitler, he did not oppose the Anschluss. He looked upon Germany as a counterbalance to the expansionism of Italy and expected German supremacy in Central Europe. He considered Russia, whether Bolshevist or other, the greatest danger for the Balkans. He advocated the independence of Yugoslavia. Henderson anticipated that, in spite of the alliance with France, Yugoslavia would arrive at an agreement with Italy, then Germany and finally also with Russia.

      • Referat na mednarodnem znanstvenem posvetovanju »Nemci, Poljska in Evropa, 1871-1971« z dne 11. in 12. oktobra 1971 na univerzi A. Mickiewicza v Poznanju na Poljskem navaja ocene tedanjega britanskega poslanika Hendersona, o politiki zbliževanja med kraljevino Jugoslavijo in Tretjim Reichom. Kralj Aleksander ni skrival svojih simpatij za Hitlerja, ni nasprotoval Anschlussu. V Nemčiji je kralj videl protiutež ekspanzionistični politiki Italije ter pričakoval nemško nadvlado v Srednji Evropi. Rusijo, boljševiško ali kakršnokoli drugo pa je smatral kot največjo nevarnost za Balkan. Zavzemal se je za neodvisnost Jugoslavije. Henderson je predvideval, da bo Jugoslavija kljub zavezništvu s Francijo sklenila pogodbo z Italijo, nato z Nemčijo in slednjič še z Rusijo.
