This article examines briefly -- via the examples of the mathematical abstracting journal, ``Zentralblatt'', and the International Applied Mechanics Congress held in 1938 -- the restrictions in Germany for international mathematical collaboration after 1933, especially due to anti-semitism. The analysis then moves to two case studies. The first deals with one central event of international mathematical communication in the 1930s, the International Congress of Mathematicians held in Oslo in 1936, and with the reactions of German mathematicians to it as revealed in an unpublished report by Walter Lietzmann. The second briefly describes Nazi strategies to ``restructure'' European mathematics during World War II and the role of mathematicians, Harald Geppert and Wilhelm Süss, in that endeavour. Tables in the appendices give both dates of decisive events that determined the international participation of German mathematicians and biographical information on the mathematicians involved. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0990.00012].
