Armenian Legion in Wehrmacht: Former Defense Spokesperson Confirms Existence, Reveals German Plan

The existence of the Armenian Legion in the Wehrmacht during World War II has been a subject of debate. Recently, Artsrun Hovhannisyan, a former spokesperson for the Armenian Ministry of Defense, confirmed the legion's existence in an interview. Hovhannisyan's statement adds weight to historical accounts of Armenian collaboration with Nazi Germany. The video also highlights 'Operation Gertrud,' a German plan that, if successful, would have led to a German invasion of the Caucasus and the establishment of a unified historical Armenia. This plan, according to Hovhannisyan, involved the Armenian Legion playing a significant role. While the information presented requires further verification and contextualization, Hovhannisyan's confirmation provides a new perspective on this complex historical issue. The video's use of archival footage and the direct quote from Hovhannisyan adds credibility to the narrative. Further research is needed to fully understand the extent of Armenian involvement in World War II and the implications of 'Operation Gertrud'.
