Summary

A vivid and provocative discussion of collabration in World War II - a notorious and contoversial subject. The Nazi regime in Germany was terrible enough without even accounting for the policy of collaboration. So what extra does collaboration say about Hitler and his plans for Europe? Peter Davies explores the mindset and political attitudes of Hitler and many other controversial pro-Nazi leaders in Western Europe, Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe, and beyond. Delving into four different "types " of collaboration: political, financial, the Holocaust, and collaboration at a social level, he explores some difficult topics. The story of collaboration is brought up to date, assessing both the legacy and its contemporary parallels.
