DESCRIPTION:At the height of the Second World War\, German troops encounte
 red large Muslim populations in North Africa\, the Balkans\, the Crimea an
 d the Caucasus. Nazi officials saw Islam as a powerful force and one hosti
 le to the same enemies as Germany: the British Empire\, the Soviet Union\,
  and Jews. The paper will not only discuss Berlin's attempts to promote Na
 zi Germany as a patron of Islam\, but also show that the realities on the 
 ground were often very complex. In North Africa\, the Balkans\, and the Ea
 stern front\, German soldiers were confronted with diverse Muslim populati
 ons\, including Muslim Roma and Jewish converts to Islam.
