Turkey broke off relations with Germany in August of '44 and declared war 23 Feb 45.
Another fact, courtesy of declassified OSS files, is that the OSS and the British identified 1500 Abwehr (German) agents to the Turkish government, who controlled, imprisoned, or otherwise neutralized 800 of them.

The US and Russia were already fighting on German soil, the war was 60 daysa away from ending. The turks had no troops to send. Why exactly, after being Hitler's #1 trading partner did they declare war? What's the turk word for opportunism?

So the turks played both sides of the street, how principled. How many Allied agents did they control, imprison or neutralize?
