    You have a part if bias within that statement; as Austria did not battle Germany, but nevertheless Hitler thought of the country as a place that Jews and non-arians could hide in safety so he assumed power of the Government.

    No Bias at all. Hitler controlled Austria from before the war till the end.

    Not to mention that is not German that he is writing. More like something out of an automatic translator. Some words are made-up, verbs have the wrong tenses, and word order in the sentences is wrong.

    Cheers

    JCF,

    Wonder if Hungary should be added to the list. If one considers only Germany as an occupying power, maybe Italy too ? (These aren't in the category of neutrals invaded but they ended up occupied just the same).

    Oh, since you mentioned Lichtenstein, perhaps San Marino and Monaco ? I don't think Andorra was occupied . . . not sure. :confused:

    Cheers

    I ran this through Babelfish,

    "Du habst ein teil von bias in der sagen, wie Austrischland tat nicht angriff deustchland, aber Hitler gedanke von der coutrich wie eine countrisch das Jews und nicht Arians verbergen kOnnte"

    and came up with this translation,

    "You habst part from bias in say, like Austrischland did not do did not attack deustchland, but Hitler thought of coutrich like countrisch the Jews and not Arians to hide could "
    LOL.

    Should we not also add the Baltics? (Lettonia, Estonia, Lithuania) while they were technically part of the USSR by the time the Germans occupied then they were independent in 1939.
    San Marino was "occupied" in 1943/44 when Germany was retreating on all fronts.

    Wouldn’t the "last" area in "Europe" that the Germans and Italians occupied be the Ukraine? Asia technically starts east of the Urals and the Suez Canal, and northeast of the Black and Caspian seas. Does it not?

    That was the farthest east they got as a "team", and the Ukraine is still considered part of Europe, not Asia per se.

    You're correct and is the cause of much suffering to this day. German forces under Von Kleist tried to breakthrough to Baku (to seize the oil fields) on the Caspian and Batumi on the Black Sea- to eliminate the Black Sea fleet. they got as far as the Terek river in the east and almost took Tuspse on the Black sea coast.

    At this time the thrust stalled and the German Army dug in and pointlessly climbed Mount Elbruz the highest mountain in the Caucasus. The lasting effect of this expedition was that the Crim tartars,the Kubans and most significantly the Chechnyans were blamed by Stalin for the "sucess" of Army Group A and huge numbers of the populations were deported.

    Hungary can certainly be classed as an occupation, it was occupied after the overthrow of the legitimate Government in 1944. The same could be said for Italy as the King had dismissed the Fascit Government causing the imposition by Germany of a puppet North Italian RSI regime. The western allies regarded the Italians who fought with them co-beligerants rather than Allies.

    All independant states in Europe around 1941 could be considered part of the German e,pire as German influence was so strong that they didnt have much free will.


    Also, Austria was taken by Germany in the sense that the government forcibly had to resign more or less and were replaced by Nazi puppets.
