Another interesting footnote to the War.  And another example of the many complexities and shadings that went on.  Almost all of the Allies had colonies and/or national minorities who hoped (sometimes quite stupidly) that a nazi victory would lead to national independence for them.  This would include (some) Irish, Frisians, Walloons, Bretons, Slovaks, Indians, Arabs, and literally dozens of minorities within the Soviet Union.  Ironically enough, if you look at the Waffen SS in 1945, it was at least as internationalist in its makeup as the Allies, combined, (although in much smaller numbers).  The politics gets pretty surreal.
