Poland (and France) also had a lot of collaborators. In fact, most countries that were "conquered" by the Nazis, had internal situations that made it easy to be conquered. For many of them, it was also a choice between communists or fascists... and that was it. Poland had their fair share of home-grown nazis in the 1930s.
