Plot Synopsis

Using rare footage, contemporary interviews with eyewitnesses and historians and historic reconstructions, NAZI COLLABORATORS sheds light on the individuals and organizations outside of the Third Reich that assisted -- knowingly or unknowingly -- the Nazis in their evil quest to conquer Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This series exposes the truths behind the often overlooked stories of World War II, including Jewish political leaders who helped manage the relocation of fellow Jews from the Polish ghettos to concentration camps; puppet "fuehrers" in occupied territories like Croatia, Holland and Belgium; as well as the shocking alliance between Germany and the Irish Republican Army (IRA), which subscribed to the belief that their enemy's enemy is their friend in the struggle against Britain. The Military Channel aired the U.S. premiere of this series on Tuesday, October 4, 2011 at 10pm ET.
