TS's NOTA:
The Germans are all looking very sad and disappointed. The Germans couldnt convince the Turks to ally with them unlike the WW1 because both Turkish Officers knew them very well.
Poor Hitler seems very surprised to a question about warfare of Ali Fuad Erden Pasha the old veteran of many wars.
