Or was it the goats were no longer Virgins?
Turkey has no oil or any important agricultural stuff in big quantity. The goats weren't worthy...
If Hitler had invaded Turkey and the Middle East in 1941 the war would have been lost for the allies. I assume that if that plan was in Hitler's head he would think as follows:
1) Secure the region around Turkey (Greece), and beef up Italians so they can defend the South from attack, reorient German forces on the Thrace.
2) Keep "alliance" with the USSR rather strong and allow them to invade Eastern Turkey (Armenia) and thus create the diversion.
3) Invade Turkey from the West, up the highlands and secure Kurdistan for the final putsch into Arabia.
4) In Egypt the Germans should have gotten to the Suez and crossed into Palestine.
5) From there the two would meet and the Euphrates for instance and then cut off all British trade, and communications with India.
6) That allows for the Japanese and her Indian allies to create a revolt and eventually seize India away from the British.
7) The Germans would have also cut off most of the Oil to which the allies needed and won the war..
I am sure Turkey was on the schedule, but probably for the year 1948 or so, when every other big European country would have been overtaken....
Agreed. The occupation of entire planet would have completed around 1970s. Maybe it happened in one layer of a parallel universe.
Allied convoys went to Archangel and Murmansk in Northern Russia, not through the Dardanelles.
The border between Turkey and Russia is the Caucasus Mountains - not exactly an easy route for invasion forces to take.
The Iranian oil fields are nowhere near the Turkish border.
Hitler didnt invade turkey because Hitler liked turks and was afraid of them... He had a quote 'If you kill one turk you have to kill them all...'
He was chicken.Why didn't Hitler invade Turkey?
with good reason the northern ports freeze up during the winter.Fair enough. I honestly don't know where they went. But I do know Russia views the straits as a lifeline and always has.

Turkey is an Islamic country. The Islamic Arab states aligned with Hitler in W.W.II. Although some say Turkey was one of the only Islamic states which boasts of assisting W.W.II victims, including Jews.
Islamic doctrines share one pivotal premise with Nazism:
IT IS A BLESSING TO KILL INFIDELS - SPECIALLY JEWS.
This is not my opinion or invention but a declared Islamic doctrine. Islam emulates medevial European Christianity [surprise, surprise!], the reason most Christians remain silent and even foster Islam in negating Israel at the UN today. Nazism got up for the same reason in Europe - 99% of Christians were silent - or worse.![]()
um actually most were neutral and some fought with the allies.
hell 7 declared war on the axis powers:
Turkey
Iraq
Iran
Lebanon
Syria
Egypt
Saudi Arabia
Omissions will get you anywhere you want to go. There are no known Islamic groups which opposed Hitler - in fact they helped te Nazis with oil, money and chants of begging not to let any Jews escape alive:
