3:09 pm
algerian division and the eighty seventh french territorial division those were two units first exposed but of course they fled to other parts of the front subsequent gas attacks and there were a number in april afflicted canadian forces british forces as well as french. so several of the allied formations were exposed to gas fairly early on. armies have always used technology to develop new methods of warfare but world war one saw a step change in the level of collaboration between scientists and the military. when the kaiser vilhelm institute for physical chemistry opened in berlin the suburb of dahlan and october one thousand nine hundred twelve its first director was fritz cobbler. it scientists have since one thirty three nobel

to sit with. the german and ultimately come to unsettle muslims around the issues other muslims clearly caused on rest in the arab world but it's a fact also felt in. india. in january nine hundred fifteen and indian regiment in singapore rebelled because they thought the british were sending them to fight. so. you have a number of reports of of muslim indian muslim soldiers being quite unhappy about being sent to fight the holy fire really you know being sent to fight the ottoman empire there's one instance of an entire battalion refusing to board the ship to go but basically peaceably the most dramatic thing in what must have been terrifying to the english and very frightening is that in singapore the fifth light infantry
3:15 pm
which is composed of muslims actually stuck open fire on the english officers and soldiers and something like eighty plus they killed eighty plus englishman and the reprisals a very harsh in their arrested rounded up you know and that musta really scared the english officers in command because the idea that you know when you have hundreds of thousands of indian soldiers if that kind of thing ticks off it's going to be a big problem so where there are mutiny is there really put down. harshly but it's not only the muslims because what's happening in india is you also have indian nationalists of all religions who want the british to go. coming up opposition to conscription and french colonial occupation feels more of a rest engine is a. man like me it's more descendants of north african war veterans

3:35 pm
noisy zone i learn how to been more of a father to me for a safer field than the one you have off in mosul being. the arab dad of both sons grew buried in cemeteries across europe turkey and the balkans and prisoners of war transported to p.o.w. camps. the germans sometimes separated muslims from other prisoners so they could try and undermine the loyalty to france and britain they put north africans together in. on camera and talk to soldiers who fought for russia and another the first transport of french prisoners of war including north african prisoners of war was in one nine hundred fourteen and they were sent to sawsan and other places but they were together the french one and the not africans and then there was this idea and the suggestion to separate muslim prisoners from other prisoners and the idea
3:36 pm
behind this was to. have better chances for propaganda purposes and that's why there was does such as to one camp which was exclusively for muslim prisoners of war at the end they separated the prisoners and there was one prisoner for camp in two thousand which was quote the vang backlog where they were tyrion a caucus in prison us soldiers who belong to the russian army or so muslims but not exclusively muslims and the others first sent to the half-moon camp which was opened in the beginning of one thousand nine hundred fifteen and this camp was meant for not african prisoners or for but also for indian prisoners of war and they also had a small group of korean and vietnam these prisoners at the half moon camp. the
3:37 pm
first mosque to be wrecked to them john in the sword was erected here at the half moon p.w. come on large ornate wooden structure completed in july one thousand nine hundred fifteen. was a showdown in which the kaiser and german hierarchy took a strong interest. it was a key part of their campaign to turn muslim troops against their european masters dating back to the grand mufti is called to jihad in november one thousand nine hundred fourteen. they used the comforts of the half-moon p.o.w. camp to move the three to four thousand muslim inmates and turn them against the allies who conscripted them it's being combed this jihad experiment it was built in the beginning of the first world war i think in the end of nine hundred fourteen early one nine hundred fifty nine and it was paid from the private purchase of
3:38 pm
williams a seconds of german kaiser it was also tired of the propaganda action there were about four hundred five hundred muslims living in berlin and they used after the wall this mosque. again as their mosque they came from berlin here at a friday and specially and you're on lockdown later they built their own mosque in berlin and then this this building was made. by word it was not a concrete or something like that a very strong. building and it after i think in the ninety's late nineteen twenty fifth collapsed because there nobody took care of it. the muslim prisoners a tough movie certainly enjoyed better facilities than other camps offered. the half moon project was led by the german lawyer diplomat inch and historian and
3:39 pm
archaeologist max von openly. invited prominent ana back a damaged and spiritual leaders to come and visit the prisoners at half moon there were activities they did some sports and their wares it was somehow part of the entertainment they were coming important arab nationalists like the egyptian mohamed thirty eight or the tunisian sally i saw the first to see who are. made by god and therefore they are ideas of an independent egypt on the independent on this and the rest of also the very famous person of literature and of politics the syrian sharky. who for example tour of germany and came here when he came to couldn't own he met the mayor who happened to be the least latest chancellor.
3:40 pm
and this was also a part of the see the the the daily life of. but the jihad campaign was ultimately unsuccessful some prisoners of war did later fight for the germans but with little commitment to hofmann p.o.w. camp however has rarely appeared in mainstream european or cannes of the world. in the german town of zoltan in the prison camp malik discovered academics of the time and created some priceless sound archives. having arabs from different countries and bank runs in the camps gave linguists the chance to compile valuable oral history they captured the voices of ordinary north africans for the very first time. the arab soldier would no longer be a forgotten name in dusty archives he could tell his own story and though the words
3:41 pm
are indistinct his voice be heard by future generations. the author of the birth of the. earth was born a lot. of. many of these troops were illiterate but malik discovered a recording of american p.o.w. singing a tenth century poem the poet himself was a prisoner of the byzantines and his verse is about defiance something close to the heart of the moroccan prisoner of war in germany in one thousand nine hundred fifty . zero. zero

3:52 pm
