Hitler's Collaborators - Choosing between bad and worse in Nazi-occupied Western Europe (Hardcover)

Hitler's Collaborators focuses the spotlight on one of the most
controversial and uncomfortable aspects of the Nazi wartime
occupation of Europe: the citizens of those countries who helped
Hitler. Although a widespread phenomenon, this was long ignored in
the years after the war, when peoples and governments
understandably emphasized popular resistance to Nazi occupation as
they sought to reconstruct their devastated economies and societies
along anti-fascist and democratic lines. Philip Morgan moves away
from the usual suspects, the Quislings who backed Nazi occupation
because they were fascists, and focuses instead on the businessmen
and civil servants who felt obliged to cooperate with the Nazis.
These were the people who faced the most difficult choices and
dilemmas by dealing with the various Nazi uthorities and agencies,
and who were ultimately responsible for gearing the economies of
the occupied territories to the Nazi war effort. It was their
choices which had the greatest impact on the lives and livelihoods
of their fellow countrymen in the occupied territories, including
the deportation of slave-workers to the Reich and hundreds of
thousands of European Jews to the death camps in the East. In time,
as the fortunes of war shifted so decisively against Germany
between 1941 and 1944, these collaborators found themselves trapped
by the logic of their initial cooperation with their Nazi overlords
- caught up between the demands of an increasingly desperate and
extremist occupying power, growing internal resistance to Nazi
rule, and the relentlessly advancing Allied armies.
