- Free_Arabian_Legion abstract "Free Arabian Legion (جيش بلاد العرب الحرة) was a Nazi German military unit formed from Arab volunteers from the Middle East and North Africa during World War II.It was created by Amin al-Husseini and Rashid Ali when they suggested the formation of an army of Arab volunteers, which was adopted by Adolf Hitler in 1941. The unit was based on a smaller force, commanded by Hellmuth Felmy, mainly to assist the Pro-Nazi revolt in Iraq which was suppressed by the British. The unit was first settled in Syria and included several Iraqi expatriates, and Syrian Arabs. After the conquest of Syria by the British and Free-French forces, the unit was moved to Sounion in Greece. There it received more Arab and Muslim troops who were on the soil of Europe at the time, as prisoners of war, or as volunteers.The Nazis planned to use the legion in conquering the Caucasus, rising an Iraqi exiled-government there, and use as a force station, as a way of conquering Iraq (an end that was never taken).In Operation Torch the Allies took Tunisia, which had been governed by Vichy France. During the fighting the German command called on Tunisian Arabs to join the Legion.The legion mainly assisted the assigned forces. Their morale was low and it seems that the Nazis were not satisfied with the Legion's service. After the death of its commander, the Legion was taken out from the Front, and in the war's latter years, fought in Greece.".
