Özet:

In the Ottoman military modernization, the Prussian tradition began with Captain Helmuth von Moltke. Nearly a century after the activities of the Helmuth von Moltke’s delegation in the Ottoman Army, consultants from Germany were reemplaced by the Republic of Turkey in various stages of the army. In comparison with previous military delegations, German consultants, who had their paper-based duties limited to teaching in the army-related academies, resigned from their official duties in Germany. They have signed special agreements with the Turkish Armed Forces that do not link their own countries and military institutions and have served in Turkey in exchange for a salary above the salary they earned in their countries. Between 1925-1939 – let’s leave the military offices in the German embassy in Turkey a side – 36 German have served in the Black and Sea Harp Schools in Turkey. Among these, his last mission in Germany, with his corgeneral rank, the senior Hilmar von Mittelberger, with his works that he left behind in a short period of seven years, is the name that comes to the forefront. The German general, who returned to his country with the beginning of the Second World War, took part in the talks with Turkey at the headquarters of his country and informed the German army generals about the defense power of Turkey.
