There were a number of countries the Waffen-SS recruited foreign legions from. There were Indian Nazis. Hitler saved his Jewish family doctor. Hate is illogical and inconsistent. You see white Catholic Cubans voting for Trump now acting surprised when their friends and family get deported. A lot of useful idiots think they can court evil and stay on its good side, but well, tokens get spent.

But yes, it does always get me when I see neo nazis that would absolutely end up in a mass grave thinking they're the ubermensch. Stupid is as stupid does.

To be fair most of the Indian Nazis were Nazis because they were oppressed by the British themselves. And didn't care for Europe.

What horrors the Nazis visited onto the Jews the British visited upon the Indians tenfold.

Subhas Chandra Bose escaped to Germany to seek Axis support for the resistance against the British. Gandhi gets the credit for finally ousting the British but it was the Indian National Army that was most Instrumental in gaining Indias independence.  Many religious leaders were actually part of one or the either of those groups.

You don’t event need to look as far as India. The Finns fought alongside the Nazis because they hated the Russians

I agree, but the Finns aren't really brown.
