I doubt many French will concur they were part of the Axis as France WAS neutral after capitulation
Despite being occupied
Yes the game has always had FreeFrench as was the case in RL
The issue with making Norway etc part of the axis is that it wasnt
Occupied yes
Allied no
Aside from those who joined GE units the rest of the country was far from happy about being occupied and showed it
Norway had a huge WW2 merc fleet which sailed with the allies
As the game stands now you will never get to see a Polish,Norwegian or Danish ship sailing in any convoy
And while its possible to create a FreeNorway still means a rewrite
I seem to recall a similar convo in the SH3 forums
Will try to find that but IIRC most of the above named nations would deffo NOT consider themselves part of the axis
