Why Netaji was not a ‘Nazi collaborator’: Explaining the shifting alliances of World War II

Firstpost  

Alliance, war, betrayal, and then alliance all over again — this was the recurring theme of the 1930s and the 1940s. To make sense of this, we have to think about how Netaji would have seen the Second World War. While they call it a “world war,” others look at it only from a European point of view. For the first two years of the Second World War, the Soviet Union was actually an ally of Hitler. The great war was just another chapter in the power struggles between expansionist global forces: Communism and the empires in the Christian and Islamic world.
