There was no help or aid direct or indirect from these countries to Germany in either their war effort or the holocaust. ...
Are you denying that Latvians joined in with the shooting of Jews?
Here we go again, another direct example of obfuscation and nonsense from the Nonsense Purveyor in chief Herr Nessie. He starts this by naming major European countries who he thinks helped the Germans in the holocaust (Spoiler alert they didn't) and then talks about Latvia, an irrelevant little place in the best of ways, and thinks he is adding to his topic and points.
Ignore. Ignore. Ignore.
I have visited the Museum of Occupation in Riga and the Riga Ghetto museum and both admit that Latvians joined with the EG, shooting Jews.

"...substantial evidence including a series of personal accounts and confirmation received from the trial of Adolf Eichmann, supports that unknown numbers of Latvian Waffen SS soldiers acting as auxillary police were involved in the murder of Jews between 1941 and 1942. Nearly 67,000 Jews, 90 percent of Latvia’s pre-war Jewish population, were killed in 1941-42.
What is striking and often shamefully forgotten is the fact that not one of the numerous Latvian killers who collaborated with the Nazis has been brought to justice since Latvia obtained its independence. Some of the individuals who joined the Waffen SS in 1943 had already been part of the 16 auxillary police (SD) battalions. Some had been members of the ‘Arajs Team’, comprising up to 1,500 Latvian men, notorious as ghetto executioners."
It is the same with the Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam. The Dutch admit that the police and civil service were very cooperative, resulting in a high arrest rate, such that they had the second highest death rate.

"Before the war, there were approximately 140,000 Jews in the Netherlands. By the end of the war, 107,000 had been deported, 102,000 were murdered, and many remaining Jewish citizens went into hiding, were married to non-Jews and therefore not deported, or fled abroad...most government officials stayed when Germany invaded, later working under the Nazi administration headed by Arthur Seyss-Inquart. Other bodies also worked with the Nazis, with the Dutch police actively assisting the Nazi authorities in rounding-up Jews, and the Dutch National Railway Company playing an active part in transporting Jews to Westerbork."
