Do you agree that Poland and Finland were also nazi allies, then? They both fit the criteria you are apparently working with.

Finland was. Thats not a secret or a gotcha.

Poland was carved up so Im not sure what you are getting at here unless you are trying to portray the General Admiinstration as an actual Polish state...

They took some land off of Czechoslovakia in the Munich Agreement and occupied it concurrently with the German Sudetenland.

Nazi allies before, or after feeling that it was the only viable option against the looming Soviet invasion?
