@wittmann:

God Bless America!
Did Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary then?
Silly if they did.
Italy(Mussolini to be precise) was the silliest for DOW with US.

what do you mean?..paying their debt?..

[Gargantua]

I read somewhere (I could be wrong) That Finland owed some financial debts to the United Kingdom.

And that despite the bad blood, and being at war with the UK, that they maintained efforts to pay those loaned throughout the war.

Do you mean my: “God Bless America”?
Said it because I miss my best friend and A&A partner,who says it often and  who loves all things American.
He has been twice and would live over there. He is a pharmacist and very disillusioned with the UK at the moment.
Also think Hitler’s and Mussolini’s DOW totally unnecessary and could have brought about their early demise.

@ Wittmann:

you were asking about Romania and Hungary and Bulgaria?
What is your question about them?..if they payed their debt?..

Garg said Finland never declared war on the US (DOW is our A&A way of saying it). I wondered if the other 3 nations that were later occupied by Russia declared war on the US.

NO they never declared war on the U.S. ,their declarations had been to Germany only, in 1944.
First they joint Warshaw Pact then Nato

Romania in Nato since 2004
Hungary sine 1999
Bulgaria since 2004 as well….

All three paid a very big price for WWII. for not starting it or finishing it, just beeing part of it…

[Gargantua]

I think it’s safe to say EVERYONE paid a big price for WWII…

Except… the Swiss?

And Quisling who put it in his pocket.

Favorite General/Field Marshall? well that’s easy, General George S. Patton Jr. One of the few allied generals that the Axis really ever feared.

They didn’t.  At least, there’s no verifiable source that says they did. While the German military leadership had a thorough respect for Patton’s abilities, they didn’t “fear” him.
I mention it because the topic has been discussed at length in this topic: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=16779.0.
