There really should be a book on this. I had to use a variety of web sites plus some references in magazine/books and still do not know the full story.

It is interesting that the "religion of peace and tolerance" managed to raise two Muslim Waffen SS divisions in record time...

Ah yes...what would a day be on FR without reflexive and indiscriminate bashing of all Muslims?

Not that there is anything unpeaceful about that.

Have a look at David Pryce-Jones' The Closed Circle: An Interpretation of the Arabs. He describes the Arab-Muslim-Nazi connection in great detail. There's even more than you've posted here.

Fascinating information. A book on my shelf, Fighting for Freedom, describes the brief experience of the Ukrainian SS division. Interesting to see what the war looked like from the other guy's perspective. See also The Forgotten Soldier by Guy Sajer (pseudonym), the account of a French soldier who served on the Russian Front.

I look forward to the day when Islam joins Communism and Naziism on the trash heap of history.

Question: Were any Muslims or their clerics tried for war crimes at the end of WWII?

If not, why not?

Here is great web site to research the Waffen SS:

You could just as easily done a post on Dutch Units of the SS or Belgian Units of the SS or Ukranian or Italian or French Units of the SS.

Something else that might interest Freepers : I had a cousin who fought in North Africa in WWII. The Bedouins were closely allied to the Nazis: acted as scouts, carried out throat-cutting night raids on American troops,murdered any wounded they encountered, and stripped and mutilated the bodies of our soldiers.

After a brief attempt to win them over,American troops shot them on sight-whenever there were no rear echelon brasshats around.

The worst of these scum got together after the war and formed the present Saudi dynasty...
