Some Brazilian ships were sunk by the Germans and they sent about 20k troops to Europe. That's about it for SA.

Africa sucked in it's chest to lower the sea level so then Europe could pass through more canals and stuff.

There were sympathizers all over the world. Hardly an effective argument to post up some pictures as though they mean anything.
Especially with Peron in power at the time.
