German Soldiers and the Ottoman Empire, 1835-1918
In 1835 the Prussian captain Helmuth von Moltke travelled to Turkey and became a military instructor of the Ottoman army. Over the next decades other officers and military personnel, charged with promoting the Europeanization of the Ottoman forces, followed.

During the First World War, a German expeditionary force (Asienkorps) of more than 20,000 soldiers, sent to support their Turkish allies in the Middle East, joined the small numbers of German officers in Turkish service. In these encounters, the members of the military missions as well as the soldiers of the Asienkorps were confronted with a different cultural space.Freie Universität Berlin READ MORE
