Did you know that one man on this list collaborated so infamously with the Nazi occupation of his own country that his surname entered the dictionary as the very word for "traitor" — in language after language, still in use today? Or that another was a celebrated writer, sentenced to death not for anything he did with a weapon, but purely for the words he published?
When the Third Reich swept across Europe, it didn't rule the occupied nations alone. In every conquered country, a handful of men chose to serve the occupier — broadcasters, politicians, writers, and torturers who turned on their own people. And when the war ended, the nations they betrayed came looking for them. This is a countdown of the 10 most notorious traitors and collaborators of the Second World War: who they were, what they did, and how each of them finally answered for it in front of a firing squad or at the end of a rope. From the Netherlands to Norway, France to Britain — the collaborators the liberated world refused to forgive.
