Norway: literally occupied by the Nazis.
Spain: ran by a Nazi-sympathetic fascist at the time.
Ireland: newly formed Republic that was imprisoned via colonial occupation and civil war and didn't really have any direct skin in the game.

the whole "the irish spat on people who fought the nazis" thing is a big talking point that literally always gets brought up with modern day british anti irish racism ever since it became socially unnaceptable for them to just call irish people potato n-words.
my dad is like one of those japanese soldiers who kept on fighting for decades after ww2 ended but for being openly racist against irish people, once when i was little i invited an irish friend over and my dad literally just refused to talk to him. like most of the right wingers in this country moved on to muslims decades ago but my dad's hatred is so pure for finding excuses to hate irish, welsh and french people that he never really got into that kind of racism.
