Not since the debate on the Euroregion Sønderjylland / Schleswig had the minds of Sønderjyske moved in this way, and the debate caused a stir in the nationwide media and in the press south of the border. But what was it really about? Which positions and which persons faced each other? And what has the match ended up with so far? This is explained in this article.

Man kann mit gewissem Recht behaupten, dass der dänische Nationalsozialismus in den 1930er Jahren zu einem guten Teil ein nordschleswigsches Phänomen war. Nach der Besetzung Dänemarks am 9. April 1940 breitete es sich auch in den großen Städten aus, namentlich in Kopenhagen. Doch Nordschleswig blieb eine Hochburg der DNSAP.

Et lille flertal af byens indbyggere var overvejende kongetro og loyalt, mens et stort mindretal var slesvig-holstensk sindet. Begge sider fulgte krigens udvikling med spænding, men deres forhåbninger til krigens udfald gik i hver sin retning. Museumsinspektør René Rasmussen, Sønderborg Slot, følger stemningsskiftene blandt byens dansksindede indbyggere fra ængstelse og håb ved krigsudbruddet i januar til fortvivlelse og resignation i juni, da preussernes overgang til Als afgjorde krigen.

The story of Flensborg Avis in the period 1930-1945 is the story of a newspaper that is in every way unusual with a dramatic history. The daily newspaper of the South Schleswig Danish minority constituted a special foreign policy case for both Denmark and Germany - and was treated accordingly. This book is about the difficult balancing act og Flensburg Avis between Danish foreign and domestic policy and German foreign and propaganda policy; between parliamentary democracy and National Socialism - and between newspaper competition and (danish) state support.
Editor Ernst Christiansen formulated around 1930 the slogan: Front and bridge, which was interpreted as national self-assertion and international understanding. The front and bridge thought placed the Danish-German borderland very centrally as the place where German and Nordic thinking met and competed. It was the special task of the border peoples to maintain and defend their own nationality, while at the same time acting as mediators between the two neighboring peoples. One consequence of the thinking was, that Flensborg Avis for a long time was positive towards Hitler's new Germany. This led to harsh accusations from Denmark against Flensborg Avis for conducting Nazi propaganda.
Flensborg Avis was called by leading Nazi officials "the freest daily newspaper in the Third Reich". This did not mean, that the newspaper was free, but it did mean, that Flensburg Avis was granted certain special rights and thereby avoided the total coordination ("Gleichschaltung") that all other newspapers in Germany were affected by. Jacob Kronika, the newspaper's correspondent in Berlin, was a key figure in the spooky game behind the scenes of National Socialist Berlin. Local German opponents in the border country, in turn, tried to restrict Flensborg Avis' relative freedom. In the field of tension between Schleswig-Holstein, which had a border revision on the program, and the central government authorities in Berlin, which prioritized a good foreign policy relationship with Denmark, a space emerged within which Flensborg Avis could maneuver.
