Was Austria an allied or axis power during World War 2?

Answer 1

the Swissoficially they were a neutral country, but it is rumored that the Nazis used their banking system to store much of the wealth of the Jewish people that were sent to camps AnswerNeither. Switzerland was neutral during WWII. In fact, Switzerland has not (technically speaking)waged a war since its own civil war in 1847. Ever since its consolidation in 1848 the Swiss Federation has vehemently stood by a foreign policy of neutrality.However, this should be taken to reflect badly on the Swiss. Hitler had indeed planned to invade Switzerland and make her into an ally via that route. Ulitimately tohugh he didn't go trough with it due to a massive mobilisation of the Swiss armed forces. Historically, it has always been seen as a bad idea to invade Switzerland. The whole population is basically one great partisan army. For example, every household is equipped with an assault rifle.In answer to the last guy's comment about their banking still doing business with the Nazis; Of course they did, THEY WERE NEUTRAL! They maintained all such relations, if they didn't this would then be taken as favouring a particular side.

Answer 2

France was initially an Allied power, but later part of the Axis. After the fall of France in 1940 during the German blitz, some elements of "Free France" took shelter overseas. However, the portions of France to the south not under German control were administered by the successor French Government, or Vichy France, which was led by none other than Petain, the hero of Verdun. Vichy France sided with the Axis Powers, and the first American casualties in the Atlantic Theater were in fact by French troops.

Answer 3

Answer 4

It was annexed by Germany in 1938, so technically, it was an Axis power.
