The king Farouk and Hitler

The king Farouk actually he was the last king of Egypt before July revolution and I think during this stage of history in Egypt has many stories and secrets about the conflicts and change the balance of the powers before the World War II and after that especially in the Middle East.

 Unfortunately many books talked about him as corrupt governor and he was just boy search about his lusts with women and he was the main reason for many disasters happened in Egypt in this time but any way I will write him from another angle specially the relation between him and Hitler during the world war II although there is no information enough about this relation.

In the first the king Farouk when he took over the rule of Egypt he was young man after his father and he had many dreams about Egypt and the people in Egypt loved him but in this time Egypt was under the British colonial rule in Egypt and the Egyptian military was very weak in this time and there is no way to get rid of this British colonial except if he rely on the people to do that.

During the World War II he thought he can get rid from British colonial through Hitler when he found the Axis forces gain more lands from allied forces in Europe.

In the first he thought about the suitable way to communicate with Hitler to tell him he will support the Axis forces if he promised him Egypt will be free and under his rule again if the king Farouk gives him much information about the British forces in Egypt.

These communication began through Egyptian ambassador in Iran in this time and the first message from Hitler he will help them in getting rid the British forces from Egypt.

These communications were just oral message from his ambassador to German ambassador in Iran but when the Axis forces advanced from the west to continue their way to Alexandria

He felt his dream will achieve and he will see Egypt get its freedom again and he was very happy with the victories which achieved through Axis forces in the west of Egypt and when the Axis aircrafts attack the British forces in Alexandria he was coming out from his palace to refer to aircraft with his hand to express about his joy with that.

He became more daring and he decide using transmitter device to send his messages to Germans directly from his palace in Alexandria.

The British intelligence discovered some messages come out the royal palace in Alexandria and they send warning message to Egyptian government about that but the king Farouk ignored that and continue his communications with Germans but the British sent last warning message to him to tell him they will force him to abandon the rule of Egypt.

After Axis forces defeat near to Alexandria he frustrated and he discovered there is no way to get rid of British colonial.

I think he had good intention about thinking of the freedom for Egypt but Hitler was another face to colonial and he attempted these emotions for king Farouk to achieve his plan through invasion the Middle East through Egypt.
