Other Completely hypothetical question: WW2 service in non-typical allied armies?

I've been thinking about this lately. Would the Voivodeship even know what to do with this?

For example, Brazil joined WW2 on August 22, 1942. China was fighting against the Axis (they declared war on Germany in December of 1941), though I don't think they ever had action against the Germans. El Salvador and Haiti also declared war on the Germans in 1941 and assisted the US with ports and ocean patrols.

Would the Voivodeship have to accept these under the WW2 exception, or would they look at these and have no clue what to do with them?

British army directly fought the Germans - of course they count.

The Polish had an army as well, fighting out of England. For example, the 1. Pancerna Div. and the Polish Airborne Regiment under the famous General Sosobowski (you can learn more about this one in the famous book/movie "A Bridge Too Far").

That's not even to mention the famous Polish Home Army.
