I'm playing a game as Italy. Annexed Albania and Greece in 1939 and joined the big war in March 1940 after Germany DoW'ed the Benelux. The French went with "Vive la France" at the Vichy event so I got most of southern France and Adolf took the rest.
Before the French were kicked out, something weird happened. I noticed a dramatic increase in demand for supplies and found out that a 10-division German army in German-controlled France had become mine! And this was most certainly no exp force because I couldn't return it. It was just like it had always been Italian, I could for example strategically redeploy the divisions and change the leader. The leader of this army (Guderian) also became Italian overnight, so he was available at my leader pool.
Couple of weeks later this happened again, but this time it was a naval fleet of about 10 cruisers in Hamburg. Same thing as above, no exp force but a total conversion to Italian.
Is this some kind of a historical turn of events á la the Yugoslavian coup (Germany giving Italy troops after Fall of France) or just a bug, plain and simple? It kinda spoiled my game, because it almost feels like cheating to use German Panzers under Guderian when I'm Italy.
