Image Turkestan legion emblem.png thumb A patch from the unit s uniform The Turkestan Legion lang de Turkistanische Legion was the name for the military units composed of the freiwillige Turkic peoples who fought in the Wehrmacht German Army during World War II . Most of these troops were Red Army POW s, who opted to fight for the Nazis in the hopes of establishing an independent state in Central Asia after the war. Although Turkic peoples had been perceived initially as racially inferior , this attitude officially already changed in the Autumn 1941, when the Nazis attempted to harness the anti Russian sentiment of Turkic peoples in Russia for political gain. The first Turkistan Legion was mobilized in May 1942, originally consisting of only one battalion but having been expanded to 16 battalions and 16,000 soldiers by 1943. Under the Wehrmacht s command, these units were mobilized exclusively on the Western front, isolating them from the Red Army , on the war fronts of France and north Italy. Much of the Turkestan Legion was ultimately imprisoned by British forces and repatriated into Russia, where they would face gulag camps or prison terms from the Soviet government for having fought alongside the Axis forces. Notable members of the legion include Baymirza Hayit , who after the war, settled in Germany and became a historian of the history of Central Asia and Turkestan .
