Soviet Soldier said:I know it's off topic, but some says Japan was first asian country to accept German Nazi as their ally, but Chinese KMT was the first asian country to accept Nazis.
Soviet Soldier said:You see, Nazi Germans needed ally like main land china, for it's purpose for their resources. Germans hated the communists and since chinese KMT was not communists, Nazi party were willing to make KMT party as their ally. It has nothing to do with Nazi Germans accepting chinese as their own Aryan race or anything.
AKEBONO said:I personally think its a tale to believe germans accepted 'arians' only. Even in outstanding 'racial' forces like waffen SS was it not uncommon to have e.i. central asian forces (muslim). And please just consider the strong relationships between Germany and Italy or Spain during WWII where spanish and italian could not fit into the 'arian' ideology. I think those people were pragmatic enough to accept everybody who just was anti-communist... anti-american... anti-british and so on.
Speaking of the ideal aryans, Hitler wasn't even an ideal aryan! He had black hair and dark eyes. I have no idea what the hell he was thinking.canadian kor said:If you look at the top members of the Nazi Party (Himler, Goebbels, etc.) you will see that they look nothing like the ideal Nordic Aryan type (e.g., blonde hair, blue eyes, tall build) revered by the Nazis.
These soldiers are not Chinese. They are Turkmen. There are also more photos of Turkmenistan volunteers here http://www.geocities.com/alvinlee_81/WarPics6.htmlSoviet Soldier said:
Chinese soldiers trained by Nazi army officer
This is Wang Jingwei, the KMT traitor who collaborated with the Japs. The Nazis pictured are not the supreme council or Reichstag members. They are German diplomats in Nanjing, 1941.

Xinjiang is also called East Turkmenistan, hence there are Turkmens in China.Jean-Francois said:Although I am a Chinese, I don't know what a Turkmeni is. Are they Turks raised in China?
Turkmens are a diverse lot. You'll find some who look very caucasoid & others who look like ethnic Han. I think for the most part they are a mixture of the caucasoid & mongoloid race.canadian_kor said:I've seen Turkmen and they certainly are not Turkmen (Turkmen look more Mongolian).

I know who Wang Jing Wei was though. His picture was on each history textbook in Hong Kong, but some of my classmates thought Wang Jing Wei, No.1 traitor of China and the public enemy of Chinese people, was good-looking. I think he looked like a womanizer.
Ooops! You are of course right, it's East Turkestan. Maybe I got confused by the many names this place has:alanta said:East Turkistan or Chinese Turkistan, and they are Uighurs, not Turkmen. Uighur looks like Turkmens, Uzeks, and other central asians, but not Chinese at all.
