I found an interesting article in BBC about a group of Indian POW's who fought for germany during the last days of WW2.
Hitler's secret Indian army
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3684288.stm
Till i know Subhas Chandra Bose went to germany and asked hitler for help but Hitler rejected his proposal ,Then he went to Japan.
But the article says that becoz of german defeat at stalingrad,Subhash Chandra bose turned back and went to Japan.
I don't think Japan was in a good Position in the end of 1942.
They were already Worried by the defeat at Midway and guadalcanal and Japan was in no position to Launch new offensive against British(in India).
Then Why did Subhash went to Japan?
Only one reason,they had many Indian POW's in singapore.
My assumption was if Japan did not attack Midway and Seriously considered Offensive against birtish in India during Japanese Naval Offensive in Indian Ocean(1941) then India could have been Sucessfully Liberated by Japan.
Hitler's secret Indian army
For complete article go toIn the closing stages of World War II, as Allied and French resistance forces were driving Hitler's now demoralised forces from France, three senior German officers defected.
Legionnaires were recruited from German POW camps
The information they gave British intelligence was considered so sensitive that in 1945 it was locked away, not due to be released until the year 2021.
Now, 17 years early, the BBC's Document programme has been given special access to this secret file.
It reveals how thousands of Indian soldiers who had joined Britain in the fight against fascism swapped their oaths to the British king for others to Adolf Hitler - an astonishing tale of loyalty, despair and betrayal that threatened to rock British rule in India, known as the Raj.
The story the German officers told their interrogators began in Berlin on 3 April 1941. This was the date that the left-wing Indian revolutionary leader, Subhas Chandra Bose, arrived in the German capital.
