While in Lisbon, during the prewar period, Hoyningen-Huene developed close ties between Berlin and Lisbon. He studied, Portuguese history and culture, and appealed to the nationalist sentiments of Salazar and othersenior Portuguese personalities. He gave talks at universities in Lisbon and Coimbra on the past glories of the Portuguese Empire and positioned himself as a strong supporter of the culture and symbols of the Portuguese Estado Novo. He developed ties with Portuguese elite, including the head of Lisbon’s small permanent Jewish community, Moisés Bensabat Amzalak, and he managed Amzalak to be awarded the medal of excellence from the German Red Cross, a German civil assistance organization.〔LOUÇÃ, ANTÓNIO and PACCAUD, ISABELLE "O Segredo da Rua d'O Século –Ligações Perigosas de Um Dirigente Judeu com a Alemanha Nazi (1935-1939) Lisboa, Fim de Século, 2007, ISBN 9789727542536〕 After the war,Salazar allowed Hoyningen-Huene to settle permanently in the Lisbon area, where he lived out part of his retirement. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oswald von Hoyningen-Huene」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
