first of all, hello forum members
This is my first time that I add some information to the forum. No idea if they are useful.
After Turkish Indepence War, a new republic of Turkey was formed and the Ottoman royal family was obliged to exile. France, Austria and Egypt are amongst the states they immigrated.
I have some information to share:
> Ertugrul Osman is the grandson of Abdulhamit II and the son of Vahdettin (aka Mehmet VI), who is the last sultan of the empire. When he was in Vienna, there was an American lady who visited them for times. And Ertugrul Osman's father did not like the man who came with her. Because of that, the man did not go upstairs with the lady and stayed on the first floor to wait for the lady. While he was waiting for her, he talked to Ertugrul Osman and his brother. After years, what Ertugrul Osman had discovered was that the man his father did not like, was Hitler. (source: http://www.sabah.com.tr/2004/07/23/gnd103.html in Turkish) Osman Ertugrul is the oldest surviving member of the family.
> One of the last Ottomans enrolled in the US army. He fought in D-Day and saved the land from the Nazis.
Excuse me if my language is bothering.
