Description

This photograph from the Brangulí collection captures a key moment in the collaboration between the Franco regime and Nazism. The arrival of Himmler, head of the SS, symbolizes the ideological and operational alliance between two dictatorships that marked European history. The document, of photographic typology and private fund, is of great historical and political value. Located in Barcelona’s Vegueria, it is part of the themes of politics and governance and international relations, and reminds us of Catalonia’s role as the scene of the tensions and complicity of European fascism.
