They could have fielded a lot more soldiers but Hitler didn't want them.

So? Kosovar Serbs fought Nazis, while Albanian Muslims collaborated. We have seen which side the EU, as well as our own previous administration, cast their lot with. Is it just me, or do I sense a growing need for "Progressives" to create a greater illusion of separation from the "Other White Totalitarianism™?" The old "call them right wing despite reams of documentation to the contrary" doesn't seem to be working so well anymore.

They also provided 50% of the concentration camp guards. There's a big difference between serving as a native auxillery for the Wehremacht or as a partisan force and being part of the Waffen SS, the Nazi parties own field formations.
