The untold story of Muslim volunteers who fought for Nazi Germany—why they joined, what units they formed, and the consequences of their service.

From the Balkans to the Caucasus, a detailed account of recruitment, combat, and the complex mix of nationalism and desperation that shaped these alliances.

Description

“Munoz is a solid historian who takes his niche seriously… for readers interested in uniform details or small engagements on the fringes of the Second World War, Hitler’s Muslim Allies could be worthwhile.” – Journal of Military History

During the Second World War, the Wehrmacht recruited foreigners from diverse regions, including the USSR, the Balkans, North Africa, and the Middle East. Among these were many Muslim volunteers. Hitler’s Muslim Allies delves into their recruitment, motivations, actions, and the consequences of their service to Nazi Germany.

The book explores the rise of Arab nationalism in North Africa and the Middle East, as well as nationalist aspirations in the Balkans and the former USSR. It highlights Arab volunteers from North Africa and the Middle East who served in the German Army from 1941–1945.

A detailed account is provided of several unique units, including the Bosnian Muslim 13. Waffen Gebirgs Division der SS Handschar, chronicling its recruitment, combat history, and disbandment. The Kaukasischer Waffen Verband der SS (1944–1945), composed of Muslim Caucasian volunteers, is also examined.
