And the reason you can't use Google is?

I wondered if anyone actually knows?
in '42-'43 the US issued a set of 13 stamps, "overrun nations" which included Korea, so, according to them at that time the answer is 12.

areas that I don't think are countries or areas not properly overrun seem to be included.

I have no idea what you're talking about in relation to Korea though.

I don't really know why you think. I know what historians know.

This is the history forum, if you know the answer to the question please give it or say nothing.
I think you are tired, the sentence I gave makes sense, please sleep before trying again.

It's fairly clear which country's Germany overrun.
Pretty much all of mainland Europe with the exception of Spain, Portugal, the Vatican and Switzerland. Plus Norway.

No, I subtracted Korea because Germany didn't overrun it.

The US did Austria, I wonder why they missed out Communist countries?
I guess partly because the waves of immigrants who came to the US didn't really come from those places and for ideological & political reasons Americans would not be as interested in whether they were Communist or Fascist.

Norway was. Early on. A British and French expedition was sent in 1940. In fact, one of the deception plans for d day was tk get the Germans thinking we'd invade Norway.

The Germans would have to be mighty stupid to think that would work though. Ha ah yes, they lived to regret that one many an Italian soldier was slaughtered for their treachery especially since it was the second time..

If Italy is included, so must the Soviet Union (or Russia depending on your methodology). Neither were wholly overrun but both had areas of occupation.
If you are using present states then rightfully you should include Belarus and Ukraine but also the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Moldova, Monte***** (and the other ex-Yugoslav states). If you are using historic territories, then Belarus and Ukraine would barely qualify (save for their anomalous UN membership).
You should include the Free City of Danzig if the Channel Islands are included.
San Marino was occupied by Germany late in the Italian campaign and Monaco somewhat earlier.
Finland was invaded by Germany in 1944

It worked very well. The Germans did a surprisingly good job on the defence of Italy under Keselring.
