Plan GERTRUD

German plan invading Turks in 1943 called " GERTRUD "

Members of Armenian-German Union and Georgian-German union met Alfred Rosenberg in 1941, and
he had promised them "when Armenia and Georgia are free from bolshevik rule, with German support
Armenian and Georgian Armies will start a Holy war against Turkey, from Europe Wehrmacht, SS,
Bulgarian, and Greek divisions will attack Turkey too". And I really believe this, because during WWII
Reich wasn't ally of Turkey, and there is the name of operation which can be checked.

Immediately after liberation, Armenia would become ally of Germany. This agreement was approved
personally by Adolf Hitler. In 1942, the Führer signed the order about the creation of four Caucasian
legions. Adolf Hitler declared that these legions were to be the nucleus of the military forces of the
future independent Caucasian nations.

Hitler had a racially bigoted outlook about the employment of Slavic peoples fighting alongside
Germany, but he didn't object to suggestions by members of Wehrmacht and the Ministry for Occupied
Eastern Territories to the creation of combat units made up of Caucasian volunteers. Alfred Rosenberg,
the Minister for the Occupied Eastern Territories, approved and warmly received the news of Hitler's
decision regarding the Caucasian peoples.

The long yearning of the Armenian people for independence was addressed by the establishment of the
Free Caucasus Movement, which had been personally suggested and approved by Adolf Hitler.

According to Russian archives and reports from investigating commissions, the various members from
the National Governments from Armenia and Georgia had declared that after the proclamation of the
creation of these free republics, the Armenians and Georgians had to be 'prepared for victory and a holy
war against further oppressors from Turkey.'

Troops from Europe, which were supposed to included Greek, Wehrmacht and Waffen SS troops, were
earmarked to help Armenian and Georgian units to invade Turkey. At the appropriate time, Armenia and
Georgia were required to provide the German military command with about 100,000 soldiers with which
to invade Turkey. A plan had been discussed for the occupation of Turkey where that country was
supposed to be divided into Armenian (our historical lands,maybe even more),Greek,and thenGeorgian.
Bulgarian, Italian and special Greek forces were to occupy Izmir and its suburbs. The occupation plan for
Turkey, began forming in the beginning of the summer of 1942 under the secret code-name Gertrud.

According to the documents found in the Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories, Nazi leaders
knew very well that sooner or later Pan-Turkism would be a danger to Germany if they allowed Turkey
and Azerbaijan to join together.
