Ottoman princes that served in World War 1.
Osman Fuad Effendi seems to be the most well known one. I also found out Omer Faruk Efendi fought in Verdun and Galicia was also a baskan for Fenerbahce. Quite a career it seems.
How the Armenians sabotage of Ottoman supply lines not only got thousands of our soldiers killed in battle but many also froze to death.
Lanet olsun bu ermenilere!!
Pictures and videos of Turkish soldiers who froze to death and it saddens me and gives me goosebumps at the same time.
Some information about German Uboats aka Submarines helping the Ottoman Empire.
The Constantinople flotilla (U-Halbflottille Konstantinopel), also known as the U-boats of the Mediterranean Division in Constantinople" (U-Boote der Mittelmeerdivision in Konstantinopel), was an Imperial German Navy formation set up during World War I to prosecute the U-boat campaign against Allied shipping in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea in support of Germany’s ally, the Ottoman Empire.
Ottomans had no submarines operating in Ww1 apart from a cpatured French Submarine called the Mustecip Onbasi. But the Ottoman Empire ordered 4 Submarines before WW1 2 from the British and 2 from the French until the orders were cancelled with Ottoman entry into the war. Ottomans planned to buy some German submarines and destroyers during and after the war but that proved abortive as both of them lost the war.
Not having submarines actually proved diastrous especially in the Gallipoli campaign but the Turks were not sitting ducks the use of mines, planes for spotting submarines along with coastal artillery fire helped the Turks fight off the submarines of both the British and the French. The German Uboats also helped protect Ottoman ship supply lines to Cannakale.

- Operating mostly against Russian shipping in the Black Sea.
- Had a maximum strength of 11 U–boats , and some sorces indicate 14 U-boats served in the Constantinople Flotilla (six 6 were lost operationally).

Ottoman Stormtroopers doing training and exercises to fight in the Galician front. Stormtroop tactics and troops would also be used in Palestine and the Caucasus front but also would be used in the Turkish independance war.
Swedish army officers that were on study tour and visited "stormbataljoner" in German, Bulgarian and Ottoman army. This picture here is the Ottoman stormtroopers participating in the exercise alongside the Germans and Bulgarians to demonstrate the Swedish army of the use of Stormtroopers.

Jews betrayed the Ottoman Empire for the British we always talk about the Arab betrayal but never the Jews.
Lets not forget this the Jews betrayed us and took up arms against the Turks.

Hence why we should stop looking at israel and jews with sympathy also the Turks and Jews are great friends is a myth.

Was it retired
Yes then turned into razors
I dont want to turn the Ottoman army into some super dooper army in ww1 or before ww1.
But man there is a lot of myths regarding about them including the Turkish army. They may not be in the levels of Germany. Ottoman and the Turkish army are not a ragtag or rabble army people make it out to be.
Ataturk even utilised stormtroopers.
Since the Ottomans in ww1 series is slow barely any videos I will just post anything Ottomans or Turkish related in ww1 this also extends to the independance war.
I hope people can also share pictures or any vital information we may not know. So here is some pictures.
Australian Light horse capture a Stalhelm and a MG15 Bergmann LMG this could belong to the Yildirim army group or the German asia corps.
The unique Turkish stalhelm made by the Germans for Ottoman troops but sadly none of them were delivered due to the end of the war. A lot of the helmets made its way into the German Freikorps after ww1.
