Well, Ireland was neutral in World War 2 and the IRA actually allied itself with the Nazis. See "Operation Dove". "Enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of thing.
Fact is, a bunch of European countries refused to fight the Nazis, or only declared war on them right at the very end when the Allies had already defeated them. It's never widely discussed because it's kind of shameful for those states. If the Allies had fallen, so would all the neutral countries and they wouldn't have been treated well by Hitler. They let the Brits, Americans and Russians fight, whilst sitting back and waiting to be saved.
