SURYADEV Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I've heard on various sikh sites of a story of Sikh POW who were caught by the germans. Thinking they were Muslims the sikh soldiers were sent to Turkey to fight alongside other muslims on behalf of the Axis powers. En route the soldiers escaped and ran on foot all the way back across the Mid-East to Afghanistan to re-join the the British Army. A remarkeable story, and beats The One That Got Away. Has anyone else heard of this story or know its sources ???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simrun255 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 no that crap. i had family that fought in ww2 and the germans had taken pics of sikh pows and distributed them around the german armies to show that sikhs are human etc. As sikh had repuatation for being harsh fighthers. Its also a well known fact that the japs and nazis asked the british indian troops to go against the crown and if they do they will (nazis and japs) will grant india independance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURYADEV Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Found out that this story comes from the novel of Talbot Mundy named HIRA SINGH. You can download .pdf copies from 'scribd'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
