Hitler once referred to Australians as “colonials” in a conversation with Erwin Rommel, who replied that if he had two Australian divisions, he could conquer the world. That made me curious: what were the nazis’ views on the allied countries armies (USA,uk,ussr,France,anzacs,Canada,etc)?

During the first and second world wars, when the central powers/axis captured american and canadian native soldiers (as in indigenous), what did they think of these men? Were they confused? Indifferent?
