Founded by former SS commander Arthur Ehrhardt and Herbert Boehme, the publication took its title from a phrase sometimes used by Oswald Mosley to describe his Europe a Nation vision.
[1] It was edited by Ehrhardt in association with a board of five made up of Per Engdahl, Hans Oehler, Paul van Tienen, Erik Lærum and Erich Kern.
[4] Thomas Pfeiffer, researcher at the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution of North Rhine-Westphalia places Nation Europa on the spectrum of the German New Right.
He notes that the publication, due to its age, held far-right positions before the emergence of the New Right: the magazine "opened up early to new right-wing extremist ideology variants, instead of simply returning to Nazism."
Pfeiffer characterizes Nation Europa as a "decisive forerunner and pioneer of the New Right", which is "one of the ideas generators of German right-wing extremism".
