162nd Turkoman Division
The 162nd Turkoman Division was a military division that was formed by the German Army during the Second World War. It drew its men from prisoners of war or refugees who came from the Caucasus and from Turkic lands further east. The soldiers were trained at Neuhammer. After some initial setbacks, the division proved to be quite effective.
== Formation ==
The 162nd Turkoman Division was formed in May 1943 and comprised five Azeri and six Turkestani artillery and infantry units.〔Thomas, Nigel and Stephen Andrew, ''The German Army 1939-45 (5): Western Front 1943-45'', (Osprey Publishing, 2000), 12.〕〔Altstadt, Audrey L., ''The Azerbaijani Turks: power and identity under Russian rule'', (Hoover Press, 1992), 157.〕 It was sent, in October 1943, to northern Italy.〔Thomas, 12.〕 Of all the ''independent'' divisions, the 162nd became the largest division of all legions.〔Alstadt, 157.〕
Infantry battalion No. 450 was also drawn from ethnic Turks and Azeris.〔Beckett, Ian Frederick William, ''Modern insurgencies and counter-insurgencies'', (Routledge, 2001), 62.〕
In early 1944 the division was assigned with guarding the Ligurian coast. In June 1944 the division was assigned to combat in Italy but was withdraw due to poor performance. For the remainder of the war, the division fought the Italian resistance movement near Spezia and the Val di Taro in Italy.〔Mitcham, Samuel W., ''German order of battle: Panzer, Panzer Grenadier, and Waffen SS'', Vol.3, (Stackpole Books, 1997), 215.〕
