I have discussed the German case in some detail as it illustrates the influence of political ideology on the phenomenon of intermarriage and also has relevance for the Danish context. ‘Mixedness’ had (and has) a negative connotation in Germany and to some extent in Scandinavia, not least when viewed in a historical postwar perspective.
