This episode builds upon the already discussed political motives of Germany´s engagement in the Middle East. We are going to talk about the so-called Asien-korps – the First World War relative of the more famously known Afrikakorps and its concrete military involvement in the Middle Eastern war theatres such as Palestine or Caucasus. In this matter, the experience of the German expeditionary force is supplemented with concrete memoirs of its participants that managed to return to Germany after the end of the First World War.
