Apparently Hitler originally wanted to defend only a small part of Africa, that is what he should have done. What you say above is in contradiction to this. He should have left Africa completely. But hey, that's not what an alliance is about. If you want to keep it, that is. The Axis nations seemed not to grasp the notion of alliances. Germany had a perfectly good ally on its northern flank in the war against Russia, but instead of supplying materiel to Finland, it *sold* the stuff. Not only did it sell the Bf-109s--it even charged the Finns for the aircraft it captured in France and sent north to the FAF, which was already equipped with numerous foreign aircraft as a result of the Winter War of 1939-1940. Ooh, was that the revenge of the Jews? If they can't do anything about the holocaust quickly, maybe giving advice like that to the Germans was a form of revenge :-) As for Japan--better not go into how the Japanese treated the "liberated" nations of Southeast Asia. Seeing as they saw those as a source of raw materials and market for goods, one can take a fair guess! But do you know some details (sorry, it would take me days, if not weeks, to find something and read it). In the case of military stuff, what could they give or even sell, having too few themselves? I am thinking of Manchukuo and Thailand, among others perhaps, which were equipped with Japanese aircraft. Any facts on how these ended up there? -- G Hassenpflug * IJN & JMSDF equipment/history fan |
