Hi Mike,
I'm not sure if any Goan served on the Axis side, this would depend I think on
Goan migration to Axis countries. I do know that during the course of the War,
the then British Counsel stationed in Goa, kept close watch on a one particular
Goan who kept close company with the Germany counsel also stationed in Goa. Now
those two might have just been friends and nothing more to it other than
friendship. There were a few German sailors or were they Italian, I can't
remember exactly, who took refuge in Goa after their ships had been torpedoed.
The majority of the Goans were very pro-Allied forces and infact one Goan had
lit up his house with lights and everytime there was a Allied victory he would
flash his lights all night long. All this is my own research, so you're not
likely to be able to google it I'm afraid. :-))
Take care,
selma
