UKTV - Nazi Collaborators (2010) Part 8 The Grand Mufti - The Collaborator of Jerusalem

“Nazi Collaborators is a must watch from beginning to end. It conveys a sense of suspense and even horror. It gives us a raw insight into how easily Nazism could have taken over the globe in a blink of an eye and the consequences that would follow.”

This 13-part documentary explores the question, “How could anyone have collaborated with Adolph Hitler and the Nazis?” As shown on the Yesterday TV Channel, this series 'Nazi Collaborators' explores the fascinating and often shocking tales of how individuals from all walks of life from the privileged and the political elite to ordinary working men turned against their nations and races to fight alongside the Nazis during World War 2. Drawing upon an unrivaled 4000 hours of archival film, it shows how powerful individuals and organizations all across Europe and the Middle East collaborated, often with dark and disturbing motives, with the most evil regime of the 20th century. Many did it for financial gain, others for the promise of elevated status. Some believed that siding with the imperialist Germans offered the best chance of survival for their people, whilst others would later claim they would be killed if they refused. From the Jewish leader who offered up his people as free labour, to the ex-French Prime Minister who actively aided the Nazi hunt for the Resistance. And from the IRA-German plot to invade Northern Ireland to the brutal killing squads of Lithuania, this ground-breaking series explores the complex motivations behind the controversial paths these collaborators chose. These are the stories that many countries prefer to forget or cover up.

The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Mohammed Amin Al-Husayni, wanted to free his country from British occupation. To do this, he enlisted Hitler's help. He recruited Bosnian Muslims for the Waffen-SS and maintained close ties to Mussolini. In the spring of 1944, he called on his people on the radio to kill Jews on God's orders. Historians still disagree today about whether Al-Husayni wanted to help his people or whether he had other goals.

Snippet from Wikipedia: Amin al-Husseini: Mohammed Amin al-Husseini (Arabic: محمد أمين الحسيني; c. 1897 – 4 July 1974) was a Palestinian Arab nationalist and Muslim leader in Mandatory Palestine. Al-Husseini was the scion of the al-Husayni family of Jerusalemite Arab nobles, who trace their origins to the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
Husseini was born in Jerusalem, Ottoman Empire in 1897, he received education in Islamic, Ottoman, and Catholic schools. In 1912, he pursued Salafist religious studies in Cairo. Husseini later went on to serve in the Ottoman army during World War I. At war's end he stationed himself in Damascus as a supporter of the Arab Kingdom of Syria, but following its disestablishment, he moved back to Jerusalem, shifting his pan-Arabism to a form of Palestinian nationalism. From as early as 1920, he actively opposed Zionism, and as a leader of the 1920 Nebi Musa riots, was sentenced for ten years imprisonment but pardoned by the British. In 1921, Herbert Samuel, the British High Commissioner appointed him Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, a position he used to promote Islam while rallying a non-confessional Arab nationalism against Zionism. During the 1921–1936 period, he was considered an important ally by the British authorities. His appointment by the British for the role of grand mufti of all Palestine (a new role established by the British) helped divide the Palestinian leadership structure and national movement.
In 1937, evading an arrest warrant for aligning himself as leader of the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine against British rule, he fled and took refuge in Lebanon and afterwards Iraq.
