In the period following World War I, defeated Germany and Bolshevik Russia were drawn together for mutual support as black sheep in the international arena.
The Russo-German Pact was not only a non-aggression pact, but also contained a secret protocol providing for the division of Eastern Europe between German and Soviet "spheres of influence." Poland would be divided between the two, the Western Ukraine and Belorussia would be ceded to Russia, as would Finland, Estonia, and Latvia.
This cooperation ceased when Hitler came to power in 1933 due to Stalin's misgivings concerning Hitler's intentions to rebuild German armed forces so that Germany would once again be a distinguished military power.

 Pursuit of Nazi collaborators - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pursuit of Nazi collaborators refers to the post-WWII pursuit and apprehension of individuals who were not citizens of the Third Reich at the outbreak of World War II and collaborated with the Nazi regime during the war.
The reprisals for collaboration with the Nazis were particularly harsh in Yugoslavia, because collaborators were also on the losing side of a de facto civil war fought on the Yugoslav territory during WWII.
It is also believed that Juan Perón's government protected and abetted Nazis fleeing Europe after the war and they settled in the southern regions of the country (especially Bariloche), especially for the physical similiarties that exist between this area and the German Alps.

 Gdansk - InformationBlast
The strong economy of the late 1920s was not well-used by Danzig, as the leaders of the city were more interested in preparing the way for a future reunion with Germany than in developing better relations with Poland.
The official German history estimates that about 100,000 Danzigers — 40% of the city's pre-war population — lost their lives in the war, including the evacuation and Soviet capture of the city.
In 1606 a distillery named Der Lachs (the Salmon) was founded, which produced one of Gdansk's most famous products, a liqueur named Danziger Goldwasser ("Danzig gold water"), made from herbs and with small 22-carat gold flakes floating in the bottle.

 Workers World Oct. 14, 2004: Anti-gay terror in Nazi Germany
In the eastern sector, after four years of Soviet occupation in which not only the Nazis but the bourgeois class behind them were removed from power, the German Democratic Republic was established in 1949 and began to construct a socialist economy.
The crushing of the November 1918 Revolution in Germany had dealt a blow to the young Soviet workers' state, which had hoped that class solidarity, material aid and economic cooperation from a more technologically developed socialist country would soon be on its way.
But by the end of the war, imperial Germany lay devastated and defeated, a significant part of its territory under the control of its mortal enemies, the communists.

  Ukrainian nationalists saw their own cooperation with the Nazis as a justified means to the legitimate end of creating a Ukrainian state, but perceived Polish cooperation with occupiers as simple perfidy.
   The AK's plans for a rising, as formulated in 1942, anticipated a war with Ukrainians for the ethnographically Ukrainian territories that fell within Poland's prewar boundaries.
  Ukrainians in ethnically mixed villages and towns were offered material inducements to join in the slaughter of their neighbors—although Polish recollections prove that a large number of Ukrainians risked (and sometimes lost) their own lives by warning or sheltering Poles instead.

Zionist delegates, according to Schwalb, could operate without disturbance in Germany throughout the war and organize their cells of the youth movement Hehalutz(13).
For all practical purposes, the Zionist leadership in Palestine and in the USA abandoned European Jewry(29), and in certain cases sabotaged rescue attempts(30) and in some other cases even collaborated with the Nazis(31).
The Zionist project needed a lot of money and therefore it is not surprising that the JA did not have too many ethical considerations when they endeavored to save Nazi war criminals, that is, if the Nazis could pay enough for it.

 Aris Velouchiotis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aris Velouchiotis (Άρης Βελουχιώτης), (August 27 1905-June 16, 1945, real name Thanassis Klaras) was a prominent leader of the communist segment of Greek guerrilla resistance during World War II which was followed by the Greek Civil War.
One of the most important operations of the Greek resistance movement, in which Velouchiotis and his fighters participated, in cooperation with Napoleon Zervas's republican EDES resistance forces and British saboteurs, was the blasting of the Gorgopotamus bridge in Lamia (November 1942).
In October 1944 the Nazis evacuated Greece and legitimate government was reinstated under Georgios Papandreou, the leader of a "National Unity" government-in-exile during the period of German occupation in Greece.

Since the beginning of the war, the Italian Resistance visibly opposed Italy's Fascist regime and its cooperation with the Nazis, organizing mountain guerilla units, workers' strikes, and industrial sabotages.
Meanwhile, Finnish forces advanced down the Karelian Isthmus (which had been seized from Finland by the Soviets during the Russo-Finnish War of 1939 to 1940) and besieged Leningrad from the north.
On 13 October, the Italian government, refusing to recognize Mussolini's puppet state, would declare war against Nazi Germany.

 A Teacher's Guide to the Holocaust: Art of the Third Reich Bibliography
In 1939, Harvard also organized the American Defense/Harvard Group, a team of art historians knowledgeable about European art, to identify and locate valuable artworks in the war zone; this Harvard team worked in cooperation with the American Commission for the Protection and Salvage of Artistic and Historic Monuments in War Areas to protect Europe's art.
Note: The "Degenerate Art" exhibit held in Munich in 1937 was the end of modern art in Nazi Germany and the beginning of Nazi Art.
He also found that modern art, offensive to the Third Reich, was attacked in Stuttgart, a city which had embraced the modern International Style in art and architecture - a reasonable attachment since the International Style was German in origin.

 The Great Scandal: Christianity's Role in the Rise of the Nazis
Goebbels later commented to an associate that the regime relented “in order to eliminate the protest from the world, so that others didn’t begin to do the same.” Sadly, this strategy was successful: during the rest of the war, no similar action would ever be taken in defense of Jews in general.
German bishops released a statement that wiped out past criticism of Nazism by proclaiming the new regime acceptable, then followed doctrine by ordering the laity to be loyal to this regime just as they had commanded loyalty to previous regimes.
The rigidly conformist church had flipped from ordering its flock to oppose the Nazis to commanding cooperation.

 Nazis and Good Neighbors: The United States Campaign against the Germans of Latin America in World War II (Max Paul Friedman)
In Nazis and Good Neighbors, Max Paul Friedman exposes a secret World War II American operation involving the seizure of 4,000 Germans from fifteen Latin American countries and their internment in the Texas desert.
Friedman has received awards from the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, the American Historical Association, the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation and other organizations.
Although the findings in Nazis and Good Neighbors are historical, its argument has contemporary relevance: security measures based on group affiliation rather than individual actions are as unjust and ineffective in foreign policy as they are in law enforcement.

 SLD: How the Nazis won the war
If you look at the American army's counterinsurgency literature (a lot of which is now declassified), it begins with an analysis of the German experience in Europe, written with the cooperation of Nazi officers.
With barely a change, that was transmuted into American counterinsurgency literature.
Everything is described from the point of view of the Nazis -- which techniques for controlling resistance worked, which ones didn't.

 Amazon.com: The Amber Room : The Fate of the World's Greatest Lost Treasure: Books
The Amber Room was a room in Catherine Palace in St Petersburg that was decorated with panels of amber mosaics.
In 1941, the Germans overran the palace into which the room was fitted and it was moved to Königsberg, only to disappear as the Third Reich collapsed and the German city fell to the Red Army.
They do very well in outlining both the history of the Amber Room and the time period from Catherine the Great to the Cold War, writing in a way that is both engaging and intelligible.
