World War Two forced ordinary officials and politicians into choices that outlived them by decades: resist, flee, or work with the occupier. This collection follows the men across occupied Europe who chose the third path, trading sovereignty and neighbors for position under Nazi rule. Expect the familiar names of collaboration, the puppet administrators and local police chiefs who signed deportation orders, alongside lesser-known figures whose choices proved just as consequential for the people under them. Archival footage, period photographs, and narration carry the story through the mechanics of collaboration itself: how occupying authorities recruited local men to run ministries, police streets, and enforce racial laws without needing to deploy their own troops in every town. The film does not flatten these figures into a single type; some acted from ideological conviction, others from opportunism or fear, and the differences matter to how each is judged after the war. Running across multiple profiles, it builds toward the trials and reckonings that followed liberation, when many of these men had to answer for what they had signed.
