German Officers and Men in the Ottoman Army
The report details the number and roles of German personnel in the Ottoman forces. It notes 360 German officers and 1,867 noncommissioned officers and men, with many attached to the mobile army, interior defences, navy, and coast defenses. The German mission under Liman von Sanders Pasha leads the effort, with Germans retained as nationals in Turkish service, receiving varying pay and ranks, and serving across Gallipoli, Anatolia, Syria, Palestine, and the Dardanelles defenses under various commanders.
