Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2026-07-03 01:46:37Copy HTML 1942
Scandinavian volunteers took part in Nazi Germany's summer offensive against the Soviets and paid a heavy price at the Demyansk Pocket. After the invasion of Denmark & Norway in 1940 Waffen-SS recruiting offices were opened in Copenhagen and Oslo which furnished troops, there were others in The Netherlands & Finland. Hard to believe there was collaboration by the vanquished. |

No country likes to think that its citizens will collaborate to any great extent, but many do. it would have happened in GB if the NAZI's had invaded. |

If you count all of the countries who had citizens serve with Germany there would be probably 25 but most of those countries contribution to Hitler were mostly in the one's and two's. |

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2026-07-03 06:03:02Copy HTML The Danes tried some of their collaborators after the war & some of them got prison sentences of two years. Over here three UK citizens were executed for treasonous wartime activities, one the son of a former Cabinet Minister. Many others were imprisoned at the beginning of the war, the most famous being Sir Oswald Mosley and his wife Diana Mitford one of the five famous Mitford sisters. Diana's younger sister Unity was even worse. She lived in Germany in the 1930s and was friendly with Hitler. She shot herself in the head minutes after GB declared war in September 1939. She survived and was taken, after emergency treatment, first to Switzerland then home to England in January 1940. She never fully recovered and died of meningitis in 1948.
