meticulously researched ... Hitler's Collaborators takes a much-needed fresh look at the complexities of collaboration during the Nazi era.

Zoë Waxman, Times Higher Education

Collaborating with an occupying power is a tangled skein of complex motives: opportunism, survival, fear, a sense of professional responsibility. That is Morgan's subject in this solid and accessible account of Germany's occupation of western Europe from 1940 to 1944 and the occupation's reverberations in the various countries of Europe. Morgan (Univ. of Hull, UK) moves carefully and thoroughly, country by country. He examines not only governmental officials in powerful positions but also bureaucrats, businessmen, educators, and others who played a critical role in supplying the Nazi war machine.

CHOICE

The reader is left wanting to know more about how the changing course of the war influenced the calculations of state officials and industrialists. More might also have been said about the relationship between resistance and collaboration. Morgan sometimes presents the relationship in binary terms: collaboration or resistance. Yet considerable space conceivably existed between the two, and one way to probe this space is to examine not only the constraints operating on officials and industrialists, but also their room for maneuver.

A subject as contentious and divisive as the Nazi occupation of wartime Europe deserves a historian of Philip Morgan's stature... Hitler's Collaborators is meticulously researched. There is a wealth of empirical detail, much of which demonstrates the complexities of the interaction between business and politics in a fraught wartime situation.

Andrew Moore, Labour History

In Hitler's Collaborators: Choosing between Bad and Worse in Nazi-Occupied Western Europe, Philip Morgan provides an essential synthesis of wide-ranging Nazi occupation policy across Western Europe from a base of secondary sources in several languages.

Jadwiga Biskupska, H-War

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.

`Focussing on Western and Northern countries in Hitler's Europe, Philip Morgan illustrates and assesses the captivating history of collaboration with the German occupier during the Second World War. It ranges from the appeasing and accommodating attitudes during the early phase of Nazi-occupation to the ambivalent role of state officials and businessmen, and finally, discusses the deplorable collusion and complicity in the deportation of Jews. Far from moralizing, Morgan's meticulous study explains the realities and reasons as well as the consequences of this equally diverse and disturbing phenomenon.' Gerhard Hirschfeld, University of Stuttgart, Germany `In common with studies of resistance to Nazi occupation during the Second World War, the myriad forms of collaboration have largely been studied from a purely national perspective. In an overtly comparative and accessibly written approach to the subject, Philip Morgan sets out to summarize the debates on state, bureaucratic and economic collaboration during the Nazi occupation and provides his own distinctive analysis to explain the behaviour of all those involved.'

The story of collabaration in Nazi-occupied Europe -- one of the most controversial and uncomfortable legacies of World War Two A story long ignored in countries intent on rebuilding their economies and societies after the devastation of occupation and war Focuses not on the fascist collaborators but on the vast majority of ordinary, everyday collaborators with the occupying regime Shows how the Nazi New Order and Nazi deportations would have been impossible without the cooperation of these large cohorts of ordinary collaborators Reveals how the position of the collaborators changed over the course of the war, as Nazi military fortunes rapidly waned and the Allied armies advanced
