Audit Service: In each Army Corps and in the Thessaloniki Fortress Command there was an Audit Direction. C. Corrections on existing TOEs and OOBs: I. Cavalry Division TOE: in note 1 add “probably” regarding 4x4 vehicles of the light company, as this is only a hypothesis. II. Air Force: The table is now generally correct regarding operational alocation of commands, there are only two corrections to be made. First, delete Army Cooperation Command as a separate command, as there was no such command, the Obsarvation Squadrons were individually placed under the command of various Major Formation Air Force Commands (these were to be created on mobilization and were created in reality during the partial mobilization before 28 October 1940) . Second, the General Staff of the Air Force did not exist as an operational command authority, only as an administration command authority. So, it was my mistake that you should entirelly delete it as part of the peacetime OOB. Put it under the Ministry of Air Force and leave the rest of the hierarchical organisation as it is. Furthermore you could add a note for 24th Fighter Sqdn, regarding the fact that after 30 Oct 1940 it was placed under Fighter Command III. E Army Corps : Note on E Art Rgt could better be “probably of mixed armament, both heavy artillery and AA” I hope this are my last corrections on the paecetime OOB, so that we can go on to Mobilized OOBs, which may be even more complicated!.

  • The Independence of Albania and the Albanian-Ottoman Relations 1912-1913
    Krisztián Csaplár-Degovics: The Independence of Albania and the Albanian-Ottoman Relations 1912-1913 I. The Role of the Albanians in the First Balkan War The problem of the Albanian role in the First Balkan War calls for refined researches. During the investigation it is unavoidable to separate the history of the soldiers who were on duty in the imperial army from the fact, that the civilian population did not put up armed resistance against the Serbian and Montenegrin Armies. The Albanian civilians, mostly Muslims, who had always been ready to spark off an uprising or a revolution against the Young Turk government, despite all contemporary expectations, did not intervene in the military operations in the autumn of 1912. Albanians in the imperial army Of the professionel nizam-units, which were garrisoned in Albanian territories, only few were composed of ethnic Albanian soldiers. These units, similar to the recruited redif-troops organised on territorial basis and composed exclusively by Albanians, had not taken part in regular and efficient trainings, military exercises and were not well armed with weapons and ammunition. As a consequence of the Albanian uprisings between 1910 and 1912 and countless desertations from the Ottoman army, the Albanian officers and soldiers were surrounded by obvious distrust among the imperial troops. To defend themselves and to force the changes of the general conditions the army were under, these officers began to organise secret groups in 1912. One of these groups was „The League of Albanian officers”. The most important target of the league was to overthrow the Ottoman minister of war, Mahmud Şevket Pasha, who was held responsible for all problems within the imperial army.1 Due to the similar ambitions of other secret military organisations, the minister resigned on 10th July of 1912.
