Surviving Hitler and Mussolini examines how far everyday life was
possible in a situation of total war and brutal occupation. Its
theme is the social experience of occupation in German- and
Italian-occupied Europe, and in particular the strategies ordinary
people developed in order to survive. Survival included meeting the
challenges of shortage and hunger, of having to work for the enemy,
of women entering into intimate relations with soldiers, of the
preservation of culture in a fascist universe, of whether and how
to resist, and the reaction of local communities to measures of
reprisal taken in response to resistance. What emerges is that
ordinary people were less heroes, villains or victims than
inventive and resourceful individuals able to maintain courage and
dignity despite the conditions they faced.The book adopts a
comparative approach from Denmark and the Netherlands to Poland and
Greece, and offers a fresh perspective on the Second World War.
