Line 124:
* Indian Kshatriya (roughly the counterpart of knights) often enrolled in the [[Kipling's Finest|Indian Army]] and fought the Germans. Usually for [[Punch Clock Hero|money or tradition]] rather then active anti-naziism but they were hardly pro nazi. And the best pf them were fearsome foes indeed.
* Basically nobles sided with either their country or their political convictions. Or followed their interests. Or just got out of the way as best they could. In other words they kind of behaved like, [[Captain Obvious|everyone else in the entire world.]] There was no inherent reason for Nazis and Nobles to gravitate toward each other. Nobles had more then enough flattery for their bloodline anyway. And they would have been biased against the idea of an erratic state that might not protect their property.
**Moreover the aristocracy had an ideology of it's own that was entirely different. It was more cosmopolitan and less nativist; aristocrats often went to the same parties and schools and even when they were on opposite sides in war preferred [[Let's Fight Like Gentlemen|to fight like gentlemen]]. They also had not the insatiable racial hatred of nazis. Which is not to say they could not be horribly bigoted both about race and class. Just that it was a more lazy sort of bigotry which was not inclined to do atrocities [[For the Evulz]], though an evil aristocrat might do so [[Pragmatic Villainy|get something he wanted.]] There was really no reason an aristocrat would find a place in Naziism to tempt either his ambition or ideological convictions and plenty not.
