Abstract

This article explores, with special reference to autobiographical testimonies, some aspects of the role played by West Germany as a cultural reference point for Spain after World War II. During this period, German culture was the door through which a generation of Spanish young people trained in German universities gained access to a critical European culture. At the same time, different Spanish authors sought to provide intelligibility to the experience of postwar Germany.
