Ww2 : Turkey And Russian Armenia, 1942

[GreekAussie]

What preparations and maneuvers were made by the Turks against Russian Armenia in anticipation of the fall of Stalingrad, 1942 ?

 

Were the British and Americans aware of the Turkish intentions at the time ?

 

Any good books in English that cover this topic ?

Never heard of this before! Can anybody shed some light?

 

Stalin had some "blitz" intentions in the spring of 1946 towards the stupid bird, but they failed because of Churchil.

"And in 1942, anticipating the fall of Stalingrad, Pan-Turkism organisations concentrated troops on the Caucasian border in order to take advantage of the fall of the Soviet Union"

Yeah, the Turks had some secret discussions with the Germans and on the expectation that Stalingrad had to fall they were supposed to invade.

 

The British and Americans were suspecting it. I had some notes taken on that on my other hardisk, I'll check when I can and provide you more information.
