It's called playing with the numbers. And since you're entire argument is about the (let's be generous to you) 30,000 Muslim troops of the 18,000,000-strong Nazi forces, I'll say that 2% means a lot to you.

Interesting you mention that. Let's update the known totals of Muslims who fought for the Nazis...

1. 13th, 21st, and 23rd SS - 30,000 muslims between them (21K from the 13th, plus majorities from the 21st and 23rd, which had about 13,000 between them, so 30K is probably pretty accurate).

2. Deutsche Arabisches Infantry Battalion No. 845 - 6,300 Arab Muslim colonial troops

3. Phalange Africana - 400 member arab nazi militia

4. 950th Infantry Regiment "Indian" - 1,600 muslims out of 3,000 troops

5. Légion des Volontaires Français Battalion 3 - at least 200 African muslims

6. Rashid Ali al-Kilani's forces - at least 10,000 based on that many casualties recorded by the British.

7. Osttürkischer Waffen-Verband der SS - 8,500 turkistani and arab members.

That puts our running total at 57,000 right now. Of course we know the total of Nazi muslims is significantly higher than that because there are several known nazi muslim units that we don't have complete figures for yet. Among them:

- The rest of Rashid Ali al-Kilani's army
- Other muslims in the Légion des Volontaires Français
- Muslim members of the 100,000 Vichy French troops under Boisson in French West Africa
- Muslim Bosnians who fought for the Ustashe Nazi Croat regime
- Muslim members of the Kaukasischen Waffen-Verband der SS - had 5,000 total from the Caucases region, including muslim Azerbaijanis.
- SS Waffengruppe "Krim" - number of Chechen muslims

With 57,000 already established, it is not unreasonable to expect that the remainder of the aforementioned units would raise the total muslim nazi count to over 100,000.
