Resumo: During World War II, German military incorporated into their forces a significant number of men (volunteers and conscripts) without German citizenship, especially ethnic Germans and citizens from German-occupied countries. This article aims to present the complex system by which millions of foreigners ended up participating in the German war effort, their motivations, and German State´s point of view. A special emphasis is devoted to the Nazi system´s particularities (especially the overwhelming  presence of the racial pyramid and the division of foreigners between the regular Army and the Waffen-SS) and to the comparison with other systems of incorporating foreigners into the military forces (such as the Western Allies and the Soviet Union), in order to raise elements to discuss the dual character of the Nazi state and its specificities.

O presente artigo visa apresentar o complexo sistema pelo qual milhões de estrangeiros acabaram participando do esforço de guerra alemão, suas motivações e a do Estado alemão. Uma especial ênfase é dedicada às especificidades do sistema nazista (especialmente a presença ostensiva da pirâmide racial e à divisão dos estrangeiros entre o Exército regular e a Waffen-SS) e à comparação com outros sistemas de incorporação de estrangeiros nas forças militares (como os Aliados ocidentais e a União Soviética), de forma a levantar elementos para discutir o caráter dual do Estado nazista e suas especificidades.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2023-03-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/article/view/8632110.5007/2175-7976.2022.e86321Esboços: histories in global contexts; Vol. 29 No. 52 (2022); 731-753Esboços: historias en contextos globales; Vol. 29 Núm. 52 (2022); 731-753Esboços: histórias em contextos globais; v. 29 n. 52 (2022); 731-7532175-79761414-722Xreponame:Esboços (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/article/view/86321/52758Copyright (c) 2023 João Fabio Bertonhahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBertonha, João Fabio2023-03-27T17:02:02Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/86321Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/oaiportaldeperiodicos.bu@contato.ufsc.br||esbocos@contato.ufsc.br||2175-79761414-722Xopendoar:2023-03-27T17:02:02Esboços (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
