Hans Rothfels
Hans Rothfels (12 April 1891 – 22 June 1976) was a German
historian. He supported an idea of authoritarian German state, dominance of Germany over Europe and was hostile to Germany's eastern neighbours. After his applications for honorary Aryan status were rejected, due to his Jewish ancestry and increased persecution of Jewish people by Nazis, he was forced to emigrate to the United Kingdom and later to the United States during the
Second World War, after which he became opposed to the Nazi regime. Rothfels returned to
West Germany after 1945 where he continued to influence history teaching and became an influential figure among West German scholars.
