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 authorities 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. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Collaborationists $z Europe, Western. 650 0 $a National socialism $z Europe, Western $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $z Europe, Western. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021024225.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180905050308.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3704040AB0D511E8923D894D97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
