Portugal helped the germans in the 2nd world war, lots of food (even if our own people got hunger), and other materials...
Many Portuguese died in those days because of that, something I am sure you didn't knew...
We had a similar regime (but protected by US after 1945), yes similar with fascist germany, so the help from the portuguese to that regime, our regime was protected by US until 1974 because of communism scare...USA was afraid, very afraid from comunism.
I am not advocating Hitler's germany here!
See guernica!
Hitler's germany killed many innocent civilians before even the war started!
Quote:
In 1937 the world was stunned and sickened when Hitler's Condor Legion bombed the defenceless Basque village of Guernica, yet the world, by and large, did nothing to punish the aggressors. On the contrary, the barbarians were 'rewarded' with Austria and the Sudetenland. That infamous day in the Pais Vasco region legitimised the murder of non combatants of all sexes and all ages. As someone remarked,
"Evil thrives when good men stay silent"

What did the basques against the germans?
Absolutely nothing!
It was only a test for The Luftwaffe
