What peoples fought in the war in alliance with Germany?

In the Great Patriotic War, Germany planned to receive the support of two countries – Finland and Romania. However, Hitler realized that for the implementation of the “Barbaros plan”, the strength of all the countries of continental Europe would be needed. The most powerful ally for Germany turned out to be Italy, where the regime of fascism was also established (Mussolini was at the head of the state). Her government also wanted to fight communism. This led to the fact that on June 22, Italy declared war on the USSR, and from the beginning of July 1941, 62 thousand people went to the front.
