2. Dünya Savaşındaki insan hikayeleri beni öyle şaşırtıyor ki anlatamam. Sovyet Ordusundayken Almanlara esir düşüp, Alman askeriyken Partizanlara katılıp bu kez Nazilere karşı savaşırken kendilerine bir Papaz yardımcı oldu diye İslamdan Hristiyanlığa geçen bir Özbek öğrendiğim gibi, Enver Paşadan etkilenip Müslüman olan ve 2. Dünya Savaşında
Legion Nordkaukasien
A document dated “21 October 1944" and written by SS-Standartenführer Fritz Arlt of Amtsgruppe D of the Leitstelle-Ost staff listed the recruiting potential for the forming Caucasian SS cavalry unit. In the letter, Arlt stated that there he estimated to be 30,000 potential Caucasian volunteers in German-held POW camps, with an additional 10,100 more likely recruits in German work and construction units. Furthermore, his statistics showed that 60,000 more Caucasian recruits were already in the hands of the Wehrmacht, and that of this number perhaps 10-20,000 had already been either killed, wounded, captured, or had deserted. This still left a large pool of possible volunteers with which to raise the formation, a good number of which were in the Legion volunteer battalions.
Kaukasisch-Mohammedanische Legion: The Caucasian-Mohammedan Legion (German: Kaukasisch-Mohammedanische Legion) was a volunteer unit of the German Army.

Before the start of World War Two, and during its course, the region was occupied by Italy and Germany; that naturally left its mark on occupation politics and the process of forming "volunteer formations," as well as their activities. On 7 April 1939, the Italian Expeditionary Corps landed in Albania, and in the course of a week, occupied the country. King Zog fled, and the Albanian Army was dispersed. By 10 April 1939, the Italian military completed occupation of the country. On 12 April a puppet Albanian government was formed with the important landowner, Sh. Verlyatsi at its head. This government was designated the “Provisional Administrative Council." The Council began to fulfill the functions of an auxiliary agency for Italian General lacomoni—the factual head of government. King Victor Emmanuel III was proclaimed the Supreme Head of State, or its King. Henceforth, Albania became a part of the Italian Empire.
Turkic-Cossack Peoples and others
In August 1942, the Chief of the OKH, Colonel-General F. Halder signed instruction No. 8000/42 concerning "The use of local auxiliary forces in the East." In it, all volunteer formations were categorized by their political loyalty and battle-worthiness. It read: "Cossacks and peoples of the Turkish race, fighting against the Bolshevik enemy arm in arm with German soldiers, stand out as fullfledged brothers-in-arms. Here also are included: Turkish battalions, Cossack sub-units, Crimean Tatars..."
The exact origins of Cossacks remain unclear. In the modern view, Don Cossacks descend from Slavic people connected with Russian lands like the Povolzhye, the Dnieper, the Novgorod Republic, and the Principality of Ryazan.
Uzbek soldiers in Slovakia.
Operations of the Regiment in Warsaw were highly rated by the German Command, which recognized many of the officers and ranks with medals, including the Iron Cross. At the end of October 1944, the first Eastern-Muslim SS Regiment was transferred to Slovakia, where on the night of 24/25 December, on the commander's initiative, a mutiny took place. As a result, Alimov, the officers, and about 400 Uzbek soldiers deserted to the Slovakian Partisans. Though expecting his action to serve as a pardon, Alimov was shot instead, and after this many of his soldiers returned to the Germans.
Lejyonerlerin Yayın Organları
The newspaper "Yani-Turkestan" (New Turkestan) was published for the military service-members of the Turkestan Legion, as were the journals “MilliTurkestan" (National Turkestan) and "Milli-Edabiat" (National Literature.) The basic political thrust of the material printed on the pages of these publications, ended with a call for the "liberation of Central Asia from Bolshevism. Among the personnel of the Armenian Legion, the newspaper "Ayyastan" (Armenia) was circulated, with the active cooperation of the émigrés-Dashnaks. Among the legionnaires of the Volga Tartar Legion, the newspapers "Idel-Ural" (Volga-Ural) and "Tatar-Edabiat" (Tartar Literature) were circulated; they were printed in Germany in the Tartar language. The newspapers called for: "The unity of all Tatars and Muslims living between the Volga and the Urals, the expulsion of the Russian population, and the establishment of friendly relations with Germany."
