There are even some more reported sailors from occupied countries...

I remember to have read about a later POW, who was from poland and had faced the choice: join the navy or get shot....
He joined up and was later captured by the US Navy.
They were smart enough to seperate him from his comrades, but as soon as he was turned over to the army, which ran his POW camp, he was treated as anybody else....

Needless to say, he didn't survive the war ???
