- Every air crash is a catastrophe, leaving behind bereaved families and ruined lives. But each air crash is also a lesson.

Lives have been saved because of what these tragedies have taught us.
- Against his country's orders, a Japanese diplomat issues visas to refugees, saving over 6,000 Jewish lives at the outbreak of World War II.
- As shown on TV, Nazi Collaborators explores the fascinating and often shocking tales of how individuals from all walks of life: the privileged; the political elite; ordinary working men; turned against their nations and races to fight alongside the Nazis during World War 2. Many did it for financial gain, others for the promise of elevated status. Some believed that siding with imperialist Germans offered the best chance of survival for their people, whilst others 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 usurp control of Northern Ireland to the brutal killing squads of Lithuania, this ground-breaking series explores the complex motivations behind the controversial paths these collaborators chose. Uncovering incredible personal stories, this Special Edition Box Set features all 13 episodes across 4 DVD discs.

- This episode explores the Finnish collaborators, and dispels with the myth that they were the "good collaborators" who were not involved in many war crimes. The Finns negotiated an alliance with one of the most evil regimes the world has ever seen, Nazi Germany, in order to fight the common enemy, communist Russia, but the alliance went far beyond the mere cobelligerency to full scale collaboration. The episode details war crimes committed by the Waffen SS Finish soldiers, and explores the depth of the Finish denial. The Soviet POVs received harsh treatment and died by the thousands in Finnish camps, for which Finnish collaborators were tried after the war. However, war time leader Mannerheim, once seen as Finnish Hitler, is revered in present day Finland and was even voted to be "greatest Finn" in 2004, while Risto Ryti, war time president of Finland imprisoned for Nazi collaboration by the western allies for 10 years after the war, won second place.
