Leon,

Yes, you are

On a number of occasions, the German forces worked with foreign troops under German command.

The Luftwaffe is a nice example, as for example a Hungarian airgroup was placed under the direct command of the Luftwaffe in mid-1941.

A common misconception is to assume that all "German forces" were actually German. Many of them weren't.
