This book explores the role of mayors in navigating the realities
of living and governing under Nazi occupation. In Western Europe
under Nazi occupation, mayors of villages and cities were forced
into strategic cooperation with the occupier. Mayors had to provide
good governance, mediate between occupier and populations, maintain
personal legitimacy, and build local consensus. However, as
national systems underwent authoritarian reform and
collaborationists infiltrated administrations, local governments
were gradually turned into instruments of Nazi control and
repression. Nico Wouters uses rich new archival data to compare the
realities of local government in three countries. Looking at topics
such as food supply, public order and safety, forced labour, the
repression of resistance, the persecution of the Jews and post-war
purges, this book redefines our knowledge of collaboration,
resistance and accommodation during Nazi occupation.
