Three Koreans were captured in Normandy fighting for the Nazis
Some of the first “Germans” captured in Normandy were three Koreans. They were captured by the Germans from the Russians, who captured them from the Japanese, who forced them to fight in the first place.

That sounds even crazier to me.
