You previously did a fantastic special over Allied Colonial troops, but what about Axis Colonial troops? What was the extent of the Axis Powers using colonial troops, and what was their condition during the war?

The Italians had colonial troops from Libya, Eritrea, and Somalia. Then there’s Japan, Korea and other occupied Japanese territories could be considered colonies the Japanese Empire. On another somewhat related note, did the Axis also attempt to use former Allied colonial troops to try to fight for that nation’s “liberation” by the Axis Powers?
