Huh?

Please give your source for that

You can find it in Evolution of the First Strike Doctrine in the Nuclear Era, Vol. 3, 1965-1972 by Jason Mueller. There was a NYT article that alluded to the idea, too, but I can't find it right now.

Brezhnev proposed that the USSR and the US launch a joint attack on Israel and/or Egypt to end the Yom Kippur war. Kissinger didn't take it too well.

That was also because we were in the process of flying in tons of military equipment to Israel.

Just thought of another one. The British Free Corps, an SS unit made up of British POWs.

I wouldn't call that particularly surprising. American, Irish and French units also existed, although only the French one ever became more than a propaganda sham (and even then, was usually severely undersized for it's "division" status). There were also considerable numbers of recruits from occupied nations, such as Norwegians, Denmark and the Netherlands, as well as a large number of Soviet POWS, particularly non-Russians.
There were Nazi sympathisers in most nations at the time, and a far greater number of anti-Soviets within the USSR. It was inevitable that some of these should join the Reich.

An ironic one is the SS brigade organized by the Mufti of Jerusalem out of Arabs; considering where they rank on the race "list," I find it very ironic indeed. The best part? They were sent to the Balkans and worked with the Einsatzgruppen to ship Jews out of Yugoslavia.
