Even the Italians were not that cooperative with the Germans around when it came to deporting gli ebreici italiani. The Germans had such a low opinion of the Italians that they didn't realize that the constant SNAFUs were intentional.
If I recall correctly, only the Danes (who executed a heroic and well-coordinated overseas evacuation to Sweden) saved a higher percentage of their Jews than Italy.
