No! Germany _never_ attacked any future Iron Courtain
country [except Poland, of course], because they
all happily engaged in alliance with Hitler.
Hungary, Rumania, and Bulgary were allied to Germany.
They took part in some German campaigns, including
the partition of Czechoslovachia and the invasion
of Russia.
But Rumania has an excuse: they had a anti-nazi
coup d'etat when Germany was planning the Barbarossa
Operation, and it delayed the German forces, that
were sent there to return to "normality". This might
have delayed the nazis long enough to make Barbarossa
fail.
