This book brings
together leading experts to assess how and whether the Nazis were successful in
fostering collaboration to secure the resources they required during World War
II. These studies of the occupation regimes in Norway and Western Europe reveal
that the Nazis developed highly sophisticated instruments of exploitation
beyond oppression and looting. The authors highlight that in comparison to the
heavy manufacturing industries of Western Europe, Norway could provide many raw
materials that the German war machine desperately needed, such as aluminium,
nickel, molybdenum and fish. These chapters demonstrate that the Nazis provided
incentives to foster economic collaboration, hoping that these would make every
mine, factory and smelter produce at its highest level of capacity. All readers
will learn about the unique part of Norwegian economic collaboration during
this period and discover the rich context of economic collaboration across
Europe during World War II.
