I don't understand your confusion, Norway was under German occupation, the Germns used Norwegian ports (which turn blue in the game) yet Norwegian ships are counted as Allied.

... and just to make it more confusing.. the Germans used Greek ships (small coastal type) for the invasion of Crete.
The British Mediteranian fleet (Adm. Cunningham) sunk many of these in their defence of the island.. So some Greek ships were Allied and some were Axis. |
I doubt they had Greek crews however...I imagine it would be rather difficult to persuade Greek sailors to help foreign invaders attack one of the least unoccupied parts of your country.
To use the phrase, AFAIK, the Germans would requisition ships for military purposes but man them themselves. I would think this is what happened here, assuming the sailors were not forced to do so.
Otherwise any Greek shipping in local coastal waters between Greek ports would be treated like Ula Jolly explained for Norway. We can't make such distinctions in the game though.
