Sidenotes:
1) Similar stories happened between GB/USA and USSR:
RAF flew SpitIX, USAAF flew P-51 while VVS was supplied with Hurricane, P-39 and P-40... it is normal imho to first supply yourself and then your Allies.
2) Don't forget that there were hungarian Nazis also. I really don't like the statements which implement positions like "bad bad germans were Nazis and all others incl. rest of Axis were their victims". IMHO, Hungary and Romania could have resisted like the western countries also. But they prefered to collaborate and try to take advantage above opposing Germany. Romania was lucky to be able to change sides, Hungary wasn't. But that all has reasons also inside each country.
Sure, Germany has the biggest responsibility of all countries. Nevertheless, every country incl. Allies, should critically check & analyse its position during that horrible era, not only we Germans. I don't want to whine, it's just my opinion.
So, now let's see what kind of discussion this post will kick off
