In sum: the Anti‐Komintern (not to be confused with the Anti‐Comintern Pact) was an often anti‐Semitic and self‐styled ‘NGO’ that sought to spread anticommunist propaganda as far as possible. If this sounds awfully similar to the World Anti‐Communist League, that’s because it kind of is: remnants from the Anti‐Komintern (and the Eastern European Ostpolitik) would go on to establish this organization with Imperial America’s help.

Be sure to check out the sixth page, where it says that ‘the early stages of its activity particular emphasis appears to have been placed on the cultivation of links with Poland […] and, in particular, the recent developments in German–Polish relations, which had been partially designed to facilitate future political co-operation against Bolshevism.’ Needless to say, it isn’t too likely that you or anybody else learned facts like these in school.

If you want to know more about this organization (and can stomach an academic’s obnoxious liberalism for a while), read Back from the USSR: The Anti‐Comintern’s Publications on Soviet Russia in Nazi Germany (1935–41).
