Bestaat er een Nederlandse geschiedenis van de Weimarrepubliek?

Is there a Dutch history of the Weimar Republic?

Compared with their British or American counterparts, Dutch historians have shown little interest in Germany’s first democracy, the Weimar Republic. This has changed in recent years with studies by Patrick Dassen and Frits Boterman, the first stand-alone works in Dutch on this subject. However, they do not present a particularly Dutch perspective on the Weimar Republic. This article considers what such a perspective could be and what it would contribute to our understanding of the period.
