Muggle Wars

Hello.

I am curious as to how much interaction there actually is between the 
Muggle world and the Wizard world, particularly in relation to Muggle 
nations, politics, etc. We know that the Ministry of Magic 
communicated with the PM over Sirius's escape, but I'm thinking of 
larger issues. For example, in WW II, did Hogwarts support the Allies 
and Durmstrang the Axis? Did their respective wizards/witches/students 
have open conflict, magical warfare? Or was there perhaps a division 
along ideological lines rather than national ones, such as the 
predecessors of the Death Eaters supporting Hitler, which would amount 
to an early conflict between good and bad wizards irrespective of 
national boundaries. Or did the magical world stay aloof from it all? 
I do know that the English ceremonial magician Dion Fortune tried to 
enlist the aid of King Arthur and various archangels in the Battle of 
Britain, and claimed that it was Michael who made all the difference 
in the outcome.
