Norway seemed to arrange quite well with the Nazi regime.

The lawful government-in-exile was part of the Allies and the Norwegian Resistance was widespread, with the Nazi collaborationist government being largely ineffective due to a lack of legitimacy amongst Norwegians.

Vichy France also decided to help the Nazis in the repression and extermination of Jews, without being coerced by the Nazis.

Unless my eyesight is failing me, France's flag is not on either of those posters.

During WW2 the UK murdered up to four million people through systematic starvation in what is today’s Bangladesh.

"through systemic starvation" is an outright lie. Between one and four million people starved because of a brutal convergence of factors, including British ineptitude and apathy, but by no means a systemic attempt to murder Bengalis.
