Regin Schmidt

Regin Schmidt serves as Associate Professor at the SAXO Institute, University of Copenhagen, specializing in American history with emphasis on 20th-century fascism, anti-communism, and Danish military engagements. He has been editor of Historisk Tidsskrift since 2006 and previously served on the Danish Ministry of Justice (2005-2009).

His research spans American fascist movements, Cold War anti-communist campaigns, police brutality during political repression, and Denmark's military decision-making in conflicts like the Iraq War. Schmidt's work bridges historical analysis with contemporary political implications, frequently examining overlooked narratives in U.S. history and their transnational connections.

Recent publications (2023-2024) reveal consistent focus on historical revisionism in American fascism, JFK assassination-Cuba linkages, and systemic analysis of anti-communist repression. His methodology integrates archival research with political science frameworks, demonstrating how historical events shape modern security policy and ideological movements across transatlantic contexts.
