Routledge - Dangerous Liaisons: Collaboration and WWII History

Explore the complex history of cooperation during the Second World War with this insightful work from Routledge. Peter Davies examines the mindset and political attitudes of Hitler and various pro-Nazi leaders across Western Europe, Scandinavia, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and beyond. This book moves past the basic history of the Nazi regime to investigate how collaboration shaped the landscape of occupied territories. By analyzing four distinct categories of cooperation - political, financial, the Holocaust, and social interaction - the author raises difficult questions about the motivations behind these actions. This historical study provides a detailed look at the different ways individuals and groups engaged with the Nazi regime. It offers a necessary perspective for readers interested in the political and social dynamics that defined one of the most challenging eras in European history.
