Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, and Croatia quickly joined the campaign – the largest military offensive in history. Soldiers from those nations were soon joined by volunteers from other European countries, including France, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Spain, and Belgium. https://russia-insider.com/en/history/hitler-attacked-russia-because-he-thought-soviet-assault-was-imminent/ri26630
