Misha Glenny explores a number of political divides facing Europe and asks whether the continent is undergoing the same crises it went through in the 1930s. In this third episode, he examines three countries where the politics of migration are driving sea changes. First, Denmark, where the politically dominant centre left Social Democrats have lurched away from their traditional stance of openness, reaping political dividends while worrying economists. 

In Austria - where I come in - the Freedom Party, a hardline far right party, has been stoking anti-migrant feeling and targeting broader changes that might upend the rule of law. And in Germany, the concerns of history repeating itself are felt sharply - but experts tell Misha that the legacy of the post war, and the division of Germany between East and West, is currently playing out in a unique way when it comes to rising hostility to migration.
