This is a genuine question not a troll - which allies of Germany behaved in a generally ok manner. Maybe using the western allies as a benchmark. I struggle to think of any who didn't participate in the holocaust or similar such atrocities.
Finland had to ally in the Continuation War with German since Soviet Union was a bigger threat and obviously Allied forces / UN were not there to help. Although in the end, German wasn't that much help either.
However Finland didn't participate in any anti-Jewish or other Nazi regimen requests and didn't sign the Tripartite Pact which all the other Axis countries did.
When there are two sides, you need to choose the least worst but it doesn't mean you're like your allies.
Thanks for that - I thought long and hard and missed Finland. That was a fascinating little bit of politics that went on there - and now I'm off to read more on it.
The list is rather short for Germany's allies, with Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia.
Aside from Finland already mentioned, there is Thailand, Iraq and San Marino, who allied with Germany, but did not sign the Tripartite Pact. San Marino declared war on the Allies in 1940, but the Allies didn't declare back. These four were generally not considered that bad in terms of atrocities.
There were other countries aligned with Germany, though that was the result of being puppet-states.
Italy under the fascists still did a pretty good job of shipping Jews off to concentration camps.
Interestingly in Hungary the 'Arrow cross' party was the local fascist party in power and they were pretty horrible as well - the history about how the arrow cross higher-ups switched straight across from fascism to communism after the war is very interesting and well worth a read for anyone into history.. To a certain extent it was the same organisation in different clothing
