I've given you the citation. It is not my duty to provide you with the book. Nor is it my duty to read it for you.
No. If you were honest and read what I wrote, you would know that the chain of command was headed by one of his followers - the Nazi-supporting Prime Minister of Iraq, al-Kalyani.
I asked you how many divisions the Mufti had. You gave a dishonest answer. After your most recent response, it seems that the correct answer is "zero".
Which proves my point. French Somalia was definately French.
It proves nothing, since the Territory of the Afars and Issas is a tiny fraction of France's vast sub-Saharan Empire and, to my knowledge contributed few if any troops to the FFL.
And of course I almost forgot to mention that nazi loyalists from the Vichy regime controlled much of France's west african holdings until 1942-3.
Those Nazi loyalists had already been in power in the colonial government.
I referenced it though to show that WWII's periphery extended well south of the Sahara - a point you were denying and/or hiding earlier this evening.
You'll find nothing I wrote saying anything to that effect. I said that the Muslim African troops in the FFL largely joined to fight against Fascism and not because, as you claimed in #118, "their homes were under attack."
Yet you've given no particular number that you purport to be citing - only the vague "tens of thousands." I previously remarked that your internet dictionary quote would earn you an F. Much the same, you would be failed for claiming a specific fact - such as a statistic - in your term paper, yet only citing it in the footnote to a generic source with no page number. In any such citation the burden is entirely yours to meet.
I asked you how many divisions the Mufti had. You gave a dishonest answer.
Actually you were attempting to force me into making an answer that, while seemingly fitting your argument of trying to minimize jihadi involvement in the Reich, did not accurately portray the well documented historical involvement of Husseini in Hitler's regime and the equally well documented participation of Husseini-recruited muslim SS troops in Hitler's army. You also probably thought you were being clever by asking it. That is why you respond in hostility upon discovering that I did not take the bait, and why you accuse me of dishonesty instead when my response only pointed out an inconvenient historical reality that you would prefer to overlook.
It proves nothing, since the Territory of the Afars and Issas is a tiny fraction of France's vast sub-Saharan Empire and, to my knowledge contributed few if any troops to the FFL.
But then again you can't say that since you either don't know or refuse to share the actual numbers. See what a corner you've backed yourself into?
Those Nazi loyalists had already been in power in the colonial government.
Wrong as usual. Al-Kaylani had been forced out of office the previous year by the British due to his dealings with the Nazis. He seized control again in a Nazi backed coup in 1941.
