The Tainted Source: The Undemocratic Origins of the European Idea John Laughland Kindle Edition Sold by: Hachette Book Group
Interestingly, the 2nd Chapter is devoted to undermining the myth than Fascism was Nationalist. It's not, it's a Racist form of Socialism, with an emphasis on Planning and "Pan-Racial" organization.
Hitler and Goebbels and Arthur Seyss-Inquart all mocked "Kleinstaadt" or Small States. They wanted a Pan-Germanic union of Europe, from the Atlantic to the Urals. They actually blamed Nationalism over Petty Squabbles for WW1.
It's actually scary how Pan-European the Nazis were.
The story of how the EU smushes democracy is also interesting. The French had to use some Article 43.9 of their constitution to sign off on some part of extra EU authority. Basically, the Premier of France agreed to the treaty using a clause that unless the French Parliament voted the whole government out within 24 hours, it automatically became law. the EU hates legislative decision making and democracy.
