In rather an interesting revelation it appears that, despite the public opposition to the invasion of Iraq, Germany and others actually provided the US with some assistance in the run up to the invasion.
German intelligence agents in Baghdad obtained a copy of Saddam Hussein's plan to defend the capital. This was passed on to American commanders a month before the invasion.
The plan showed where Saddam planned to deploy his troops.
The Germans were not the only ones who publicly condemned the invasion, but privately assisted the US. Egypt gave access for refueling planes, and Saudi Arabia allowed American special operations forces to launch attacks from its territory.
