The Second World War is known for its brutality, with both the Allies and the Axis powers fighting tooth and nail for supremacy.
In spite of this, however, there were some incidents in which soldiers from one side actively or inadvertently aided their enemies. Whether this was done out of a sense of morality, ideology, or some reason known only to them, here are a few examples of when Axis and Allies worked together.

    • If you going to cut your video the way you constantly do all the time, I think you should do all your commercials at the very beginning because you keep killing the vibe each time you waste most of the video with a near 3 minute commercial just do it in the beginning because you simple history videos are becoming more unwatchable each time you keep doing that.

    • Earlier in the war, many of the most brutal crimes on the eastern front were committed by regular German troops. This idea that there were nazis and everyone else were just regular joes caught up in it all is an idea people need to get out of their head. It’s cool that some stories like this exist, but for most of the war those men played their role in the horror just fine. Don’t read too much into isolated events, even when they’re great tales. There’s a reason why the entirety of Germany had to go through a massive “denazification” process after the war.

Additionally, there were quite a few Korean collaborators who fought with the Japanese for special privileges and even a few Americans who lived in Japan and never spoke up against Japan’s aggression for special privileges. I feel they deserve a mention too

When english bombers attacked and the airhorn was activated all children and women went to the basement and the men took signalcolored shirts or other obvious signs and ran outside on the cropfields. They signaled that their houses are inhabiting civilians and the bombers dropped the bombs before the house or flew off to somewhere else. The house of my grandparents was only hit once by a bomb in the whole war and has still a crack in the middle to this day.

Six days later Belgrade, and Vrbas were liberated, while Novi Sad was liberated on October 23rd 1944. What was suppose to be done in Niš (on November 7th 1944 I mean), there was suppose to be a parade dedicated to mark the October revolution during that time. I think that this can't be considered as a cooperation between Allies and Axis. It can be more considered as an accident which happened due to the lack of information (but I'm not here to judge). Since you mentioned P-38's, I can add that at the end of WWII, there were couple of B-17's and P-38's that landed on Sombor's airfield in 1945, also in Yugoslavia (now Serbia). On Sombor airfield, besides US crew, there were Soviet crew operating on that airfield. What happened next was that Yugoslav soldiers and crew, they repainted American B-17 G, and also P-38 to have Yugoslav markings. One rumor about B-17 g says that this airplane was sent to USSR, while other says it remained in service in Yugoslav air force for one year (what is true from these two things, it's hard to say). Also in service was a P-38 Lighting, and it was in service also for one year in Yugoslav air force. There is a rumor that in the depths of Belgrade's museum of aviation are now B-17G, and also a P-38 L. After WWII, Yugoslavia received 8 P-51 D mustangs, and also 4 B-24 Liberators, believe it or not.

  • There should be a movie made about the battle of castle itter and with its showcasing around the world finally absolving the German people of the crimes of their ancestors. The German people like every people from other nations should be able to be proud of their country without having to constantly apologize for what some of their ancestors once did. If we applied this rule for everyone, everybody had to apologize for their ancestors crimes.

Achim von Borries made a movie out of this stuff called „4 Tage im Mai“ (Four days in May) in 2011…

  • There were also long term operations. In late 1945, before returning of the french colonial forces, japanese troops fought under british command in Indochina against the Vietminh. (Both with much more success than the french later!) The British also used Wehrmacht troops in Greece as security forces against the communists. A lot of german Feldgendarmarie (militaty police) remained in service under command of the Allies.
