Re: Harun el Raschid-Hintersatz
Hello,
I guess the last pic shows an imam
However, I have found no matches in the John Moore's Führerliste
There is a list of command for this unit in the Dictionnaire de la Waffen SS Vol 4 by Charles Trang but nothing about an imam.

Hello ,about the above picture of the Mullah it could be Waffen-Hauptsturmführer der SS/Obermulla Nakib-Chodja, Nureddin, first Mullah with the Osttürkischer Waffen-Verband der SS in 1944
Source Aserbaidschaner in den Reihen der deutschen Wehrmacht : Eva-Maria Auch and old posts by Michi and Jarek
We have testimonies from an unnamed SS-Stubaf captured by the British Second Army and reported in British 12 Corps Intelligence Summary and undated by probably late April 1945 or early May 1945:
"The Ostturkischer disliked the work or to do soldiering. They slaughtered their horses and ate them. They sold their weapons and equipment to the partisans. They needed numerous hours to say their prayers. They were extremely vengeful in case of the slightest offence or insult and killed quite a number of German NCOs they disliked. To listen to their elaborate and Homeric excuses whenever they were asked to do something was exhausting. Since everyone looked like the other, they usually managed to get paid several times. They sympathized with the civilian population they were supposed to fight and spent nearly all their time in their houses. Only in two respects did the Ostturkischer not observe the Koran: they liked a stiff drink and ate pork if their Mullahs (Chaplains) were not around."
