Hoch- und Deutschmeister[edit]
According to Salem, he served as "a horseman in the traditional cavalry regiment 'Hoch- und Deutschmeister'". However, it is ambiguous which regiment this refers to. cagliost (talk) 17:25, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
Operation Mammoth[edit]
Operation Mammoth was a German special forces mission in 1943 by the German military, during World War II, for a team of two German Army officers, led by Major Gottfried Müller and accompanied by a Kurdish activist Ramzi Nafie Rasheed, to start a rebellion of the Iraqi Kurds in an attempt to expel the British from the region, gain control of the oil fields, and somehow deliver them to the Wehrmacht because Operation Barbarossa was not progressing as it was expected in reaching the Caucasus. In return for ejecting the British, the Kurds would be assisted in creating an independent Kurdistan.
The mission failed. Ramzi and the Germans operatives were taken prisoners by British and Iraqi forces, tortured, and given the death sentence. Gottfried Müller managed to escape and return to Germany where he lived until his death on 26 September 2009.
References could be found for all of this. Maybe they would be substantial. MaynardClark (talk) 18:00, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
False information on the Kurdish flag[edit]
I deleted the part about this person being the "designer of the Kurdish flag" - a totally false information that was based on what seems to be a fabricated article. 213.113.52.96 (talk) 04:05, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
