Explanation:
Tens of thousands of Muslims fought for the Nazis in World War Two. DW spoke with historian David Motadel about whether pragmatism or anti-Semitism drove Adolf Hitler's overtures and why some Muslim leaders backed him.
Answer:
Muslims, in fact, constituted the largest religious group of the British Indian Army, which grew to about 2.25 million men during the war. Across the world, Muslims fought in British contingents. In Palestine, about 9,000 Muslims were recruited into British Army units.
Explanation:
It is said that 5.5 million Muslims participated on the allied side of the war during WWII. Nearly 1.5 million Muslims were killed in action.
By World War II, the British Indian Army had grown significantly to 2.5 million. Of this approximately 1 million were Muslims.
Muslims mainly from India and African countries fought on three continents and played a decisive role in Britain’s first major land victory against Nazi Germany in North Africa.
They also fought valiantly in Somalia, Abyssinia and Madagascar.
The greatest Muslim contribution, as part of the British Indian Army, was fighting the Japanese in the Far East Campaign.
9,000 – 12,000 Palestinians fought for Britain in WW2 in Egypt and Mesopotamia as did 1,500 soldiers from the Arab Legion (Jordan).
The exact number of Muslim casualties are not known, but 87, 000 Indian servicemen died, 34, 354 were wounded and 67,340 became prisoners of war.
