Özet:

The bloody duel between Hitler Germany and Stalin Russia was an important opportunity for the Turkish communities within the Soviet borders to independence. In the early days of the war, a significant portion of the Turkish-born soldiers sent to the front of the Soviet Army were taken to the front of the Soviet Army, while in the early days of the war they were imprisoned by the Germans, and those who did not realize the intention of their own commanders paid their price with their lives passed into the records as Soviet war losses. When the first month of the war ended, the Germans, who brought the Turkish group as prisoners back to the front, with the guidance of Turkey, established the troops called the "Turkish Legions" and went on the way to take advantage of them. These troops, deceived by the dream of "independent Turkey", reflected a small detail of German history, the Soviet side's betrayal of the country and the heroic history of Turkey. The Turkish soldiers, who were involved in the war with their own uniforms, commands, marches, sandwiches, fought for Germany on various fronts until the end. Though the Turkish youth, who were forced to play the game that others wanted in the area permitted between the two dictators and who could survive very few, did not succeed, they played an important role in keeping a dream alive. The only fact they realized was that both the dictatorship ideology that used them had never wanted to allow their dreams of Free Turkistan. Hundreds of thousands of Turkish youths, who served in the legions and lost their lives in war prison camps, went to the pages of the dark history of civil Europe as "The Lost Turks of World War II". The article will examine the conditions of life, dreams, fronts and differences between the Turkish Legions in the world and the effects of the war.
