Yes, PLEASE! We need country special to give proper context to secondary nations that don’t get talked a lot ( which is pretty much everyone outside of Germany, UK, US, USSR and Japan).

I would love to watch a special episode on Canada and Australia in the war.

Other nations in my mind:

  • Thailand (Indy seemed to have covered a bit of that already)
  • Iraq
  • India
  • Croatia
  • Egypt

On Ireland, this is a great book:
That Neutral Island That Neutral Island - Google Search
DeValera was determined to be publicly neutral, even to the extent of going to the German Embassy to offer his condolences on the death of Hitler. However, Allied servicemen were a lot better off than Axis ones. There were huge problems recruiting for the Defence Forces, as the nation was incredibly poor, and service in the British Army or with “MacAlpine’s Fusiliers”, as construction workers were called, was much better paid.
