In 1945 they raped 1.5 million German women, before the eyes of their children. They raped Germsn mothers in front of their kids, and they raped kids in front of their moms. After that they cut their breasts off.
Germany asked help from Turkey during Operation Barbarossa but Turkey refused.
The souls of the dead Germans will hunt these Russians and Turks till their death.
Are you just going to leave this completely out of context, as if the previous 4 years had never happened?
The crimes committed by the germans were manifold worse than what the russians did in retaliation, and this is not debatable.
And btw, in WW1, the Ottomans and Germans were allies and do you know that the Germans betrayed the Ottomans at that time and it was one of the reasons for why the Ottomans lost a lot of lands and a source of advanced weaponry
So when the Germans betray the turks (even though they were allies in war) it is fine but when the Turks dont wanna enter into a war for Germany, the Turks are bad? Come on, this isnt how it works
Without german help and diplomacy, the ottoman empire would have been split into a collection of colonies long before WW1. They were in no position to resist an advanced and capable european army of the day, and their territories would have been stripped away one by one.
It was german assistance that kept the empire going for as long as it did. The fact that germany did not desire colonies in the middle east and Mediterranean, and that Germany became a vital industrial and military partner were what kept the empire functioning.
Germans also had plans to invade Turkiye.
And they had plans to invade Spain, the UK, Switzerland, Sweden and probably a bunch of other nations. That Turkey was part of that list is nothing special or remarkable.
It wasnt our war. If we joined ww2 we would have also lost so much just like ww1 before.
Turkey joined WW2, right at the end. To get some spoils, and to formally ally with the UK and US, as the soviets were conquering the balkans and not about to go away willy nilly.
Love or hate the man but Inonu did the right thing in keeping us out of the war. Ataturk before he passed away also had plans for Turkiye to stay neutral. The man sensed another war was coming and it was best if we stayed away from it no matter what. Ataturk called Hitler a psychopath and a corporal who is trying to prove a point by risking.
Sultan Abdulhamid I also tried to do the same thing jn trying avoid a global war but instead his successors gambled on a German victory we seen how that turned out.
It wasnt our war.
Turkey supported the german war effort with enormous amounts of vital chromite resources for the german war industry, from 41 to 44, and they signed a non-aggression pact for ten years 3 days before operation barbarossa began. Don't forget that Turkey profited of the suffering of the soviet people under the german yoke.

I had to clear a few things up. But this thread is about the Ukraine-Russia War, so let's
STAY ON TOPIC.
