Occupied Europe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Occupied Europe was the name given to the countries of Europe which were occupied by the military forces of Nazi Germany at various times between 1939 and 1945. Some countries started the war as Allies and were forced to surrender, or were subdued and then occupied. In some cases, the governments went into exile, or governments-in-exile were formed by some of their citizens, in other Allied countries. Other countries occupied by the Nazis were officially neutral, or were neutral but occupied by the Soviet Union according to a previous pact with Nazi Germany. Some occupied countries were former members of the Axis powers, and were occupied by German forces at a later stage of the war.
The countries occupied included all or most of:
- Albania
