The Routledge Handbook to Music under German Occupation, 1938-1945
Following their entry into Austria and the Sudetenland in the late 1930s, the Germans attempted to impose a policy of cultural imperialism on the countries they went on to occupy during World War II.

Born in a village on Denmark?s central island of Funen, he rose to become his country?s unchallenged national composer and a vital renewing force in the twentieth-century symphonic tradition. His music spans the eras of Nordic late-Romanticism and international modernism? he showed his first symphony to Brahms, and his sixth and last was composed at the same time as Shostakovich?s first.00Nielsen?s letters, few of which have been previously translated, enshrine his charming yet fiery personality as vividly as his music.
