My project explores the responses of the British teaching profession to the development of German school Education under the Nazi dictatorship. The radical changes brought about by the Nazi regime as it warped the German education system to become a tool in the dissemination of Nazi ideology were viewed with alarm internationally, where the German education system had been held in high regard prior to the Nazi seizure of power. Analysing the responses of teaching organisations, individuals and émigré networks will enable an assessment of the sources of information about Nazi schooling that reached Britain, an evaluation of British teachers' diagnoses of the impact of Nazified schooling on German teachers and pupils, and an examination of how British teachers' own preoccupations with militarism, propaganda and the politicisation of classroom education informed their responses to the situation in Germany.The thesis will also examine the variety of practical responses undertaken by these actors to the situation in Germany, ranging from raising public awareness to providing practical support for teachers suffering persecution in Nazi Germany or arriving as refugees in Britain. These activities will be placed in the context of wider transnational antifascist activism and pre-existing professional networking, and the sometimes-mixed motives and conflicting agendas involved in mobilising British teachers to respond to the situation in German schools will be explored. Through these responses, the thesis will ask how far the view from Britain of German schooling influenced wartime discussion and decisions regarding post-war educational reconstruction in the face of what one academic described as 'the crucifixion of the mind of youth by ruthless and ingenious tyranny' (Lascelles Abercrombie, 1935).

我的项目探讨了英国教师界对纳粹独裁统治下德国学校教育发展的反应。我们观察了纳粹政权扭曲德国教育体系，使其成为传播纳粹意识形态的工具所带来的根本性变化。在纳粹掌权之前，德国教育系统一直受到国际社会的高度重视，分析教育组织、个人和移民网络的反应将有助于评估传到英国的有关纳粹学校教育的信息来源，的评价英国教师对纳粹化学校教育对德国教师和学生影响的诊断，以及对英国教师自身对军国主义、宣传和课堂教育政治化的关注如何影响他们对德国局势的反应的考察。论文还将探讨这些行动者对德国局势采取的各种实际应对措施，从提高公众认识到为在纳粹德国遭受迫害或作为难民抵达英国的教师提供实际支持，这些活动将置于更广泛的跨国背景下。反法西斯行动主义和现有的专业网络，以及动员英国教师应对德国学校的情况所涉及的有时是混合的动机和相互冲突的议程，通过这些回应，本文将探讨英国的观点与英国的观点有多远。德国学校教育影响了战时关于战后教育重建的讨论和决定，面对一位学者所描述的“残酷而巧妙的暴政对青年思想的折磨”（拉塞尔斯）阿伯克龙比，1935）。
