Umm. . . 

The same thing the Finns did?  Militarily ally with
the Germans, but tell them to keep their damn racial
policies to themselves?  (Something like 3 Jews were
killed in Finland, not counting battle deaths vs.
Russians, and later vs. Germans).  

The Poles told them both to go to hell, fought 50%
longer than the French did (with no modern aircraft,
no modern tanks, no heavy AT weapons, no
fortifications, and no natural barriers).  After that,
they ran the only non-Communist truly effective
partisan movement.

The Finns and the Poles are the only people from the
Continent you can root for from 1935 to 1945.
