Dear Florin,

I think the reason why Turckey received those supplies was to persuade  it to enter in the war in the Axis camp. At that time it was an important political battle between Germany and UK for the attraction of Turckey in the war. Even in 1944 Hitler still hopped  that Turckey will join him.  

Yours,

Hi,

All you wrote is right. I would question only the statement about 1944, but as long you say "hoped", it's OK. He could hope anything any time, including winning a war in 1945 ( this is about Hitler). I add that Turkey sold chrome ore, very important for steel alloys, and that was the way Germany paid for it.

But this does not contradict my idea: Germany offered to a neutral state modern weaponry, while her allies fighting for her did not get that modern equipment - in the moment I am talking about.
