The Germans were happy to give “mustard gas” to “Saddam”.
Mehr News Agency, International Group, Elnaz Rahmatnejad: Iran War And Iraq is considered one of the biggest and longest wars of the 20th century, which started with the instigation of the West and the action of the Iraqi government, and ended with the direct and indirect entry of big and small powers from both the Western and Eastern blocs.
The mentioned war, which took place in the bipolar structure of the international system, regional and extra-regional global powers played a role. Among the trans-regional powers that played an active and aggressive interventionist role in this war, like the United States, France, and England, was Germany, which even the media and some German officials admitted.
At the same time as the 44th anniversary of Holy Defense Week, by opening the file “The Role of the West in the Imposed War”, we investigated and reviewed the role of Western countries in the prolongation of Iraq’s imposed war against Iran. The first and second parts of the report of this case are devoted to the investigation and review of the active and aggressive interventionist role of America and England, which can be read and reviewed from the following link:
«America did for Saddam Hussein what it didn’t do for its allies»
«England’s prominent role in equipping the Baathist army with chemical weapons»
In the third part of the mentioned case report, Germany’s active and aggressive interventionist role has been examined and explained, which is explained later in this report; /p>
Establishment of arsenals of unconventional weapons
West Germany side by side with Iraqi chemists, rocket engineers and nuclear scientists created one of the most diverse arsenals of unconventional weapons found anywhere in the world. For example, in 1981, Iraq signed a contract worth 21.4 million marks with Thyssen-Reinstal Technology, which appeared to be a contract for a university laboratory, but based on the signed contract of the chemical laboratory “Dialeh” in Thyssen. “Salman Pak” was built in the suburb of “Soubrah” and by installing special equipment, he was able to make the strongest poisonous compounds, including “Pentachlorine Phosphorus”.
The German magazine “Spiegel” wrote under one of its reports about the details of the Baath regime’s provision of chemical weapons by Germany during the imposed war: “An Iraqi named Ali Qazi is in Saddam’s prison It is possible that he will be saved from death through the mediation of the German president and foreign minister. After his return to Germany, with the cooperation of an officer who is a member of the West German counter-espionage organization, arrangements are made to export a chemical weapons factory to Iraq.
After returning to Germany, Ali Ghazi immediately established an export and import company in Hamburg with the help of a member of the army of the German counter-espionage organization, and through this company, he purchased equipment from the famous German concern Foresta. He buys a large chemical weapons factory. This factory was able to convert one million, seven hundred and sixty thousand tons of chemicals into deadly mustard and Tabun gases. The export and transportation of such a huge factory did not happen all at once, but was exported to Iraq in parts and many times through Turkey.”
German cooperation in the mass production of mustard and tabun gases
Spiegel magazine reported in another report: “Now in Iraq, in “Salman Pak” on the banks of the Tigris River, research laboratories for the preparation of chemical gas are located. Raw materials are prepared in the city of “Fallujah” and finally in the city of “Samarra” mustard gases and nerve gas Tabun are mass produced. According to this report, various German companies were present in all three cities and contributed to the construction and completion of this factory from the laboratory to mass production.
According to the same magazine, confidential research information indicated that the chemical facilities built by German companies in Samarra, Iraq, recently succeeded in producing very deadly chemicals “Tabun” and “Last”. have become German experts have also found that the three factories sold by Germany to Iraq were able to produce concentrated and concentrated siahydric acid.
Edo Olfcott, a German reporter of the famous newspaper “Frankfurter Allgemeine” who was a correspondent of this newspaper sent to the war zones of Iraq during the imposed war, said: “The German authorities were very pleased to release these gases They have given it to Saddam to use against Iran.”
Without German technology, Iraq could not produce missiles
During the imposed war, Germany provided the Baath regime with the construction of the “Saad 16” facility and parts of the Samarra chemical plant. It has also cooperated with Baghdad in the field of missile industry.
Ghori, the spokesman of the German Ministry of Economy, said in his confession: “A military project called “Saad 16″ was carried out in Iraq by German companies under the cover of a university-affiliated institution. is.”
With the revelation of Germany’s role in equipping Iraq’s Baath regime during the imposed war, Spiegel pointed out under a report: “Today, it has been proven that without German technology, Iraq is capable of producing missiles Scud B was not long range. Germany’s advanced technology that was provided to Iraq; It would allow Baghdad to increase the range of Scud B missiles to 600 kilometers.
In addition, Germany also sold 60 BO-105 helicopters equipped with the dreaded anti-tank missile “Hat” to Iraq. These helicopters were secretly handed over to the Iraqi Baath regime by Spain, which was in charge of assembling a part of them, so that the violation of Germany’s neutrality against the conflicting parties would not be revealed.
Mahmoud Najimi, one of the warriors of Isfahan’s holy defense period, said about Germany’s role in the imposed war, especially Saddam’s chemical bombings: “Germany played a role in Saddam’s chemical bombings in Iran.” He was giving chemical weapons to Iraq, and on the other hand, he was treating Iranian chemically injured people in order to be able to identify the effects of these substances and the ways to treat them. European countries mostly supported Saddam in the imposed war. They had an airport where 5 planes carrying telecommunication and chemical systems from Germany landed for Saddam every day.
The historical memory of the Iranian nation will not forget Germany’s support for Saddam
In the past years, the cooperation of Germany and other European countries with the unilateral sanctions of the United States has caused gross violations of the human rights of the Iranian people. At the beginning of the war, the Iraqi regime used chemical weapons for the first time in the Shalamche area. For the second time, this action was repeated in Mimak region. From December 1361, the Baathist army sporadically used chemical weapons and especially blistering agents to crush the combat organization of the Iranian forces in night raids.
The use of chemical weapons reached its peak in 1365 and 1366. But who equipped Saddam Hussein with chemical weapons? Post-war documents revealed that 86 German companies and about 60 British, American and French companies aided the Baathists, and that one of the biggest suppliers of Iraq’s chemical bomb materials was the German company Imhausen Chemie. The historical memory of the Iranian nation will never forget how German companies made a deal with Saddam over the lives of Iranian soldiers and people during the eight-year war imposed by Iraq against Iran, and it has become clear that the Western governments that fully supported the Baath regime , played an active role in the chemical equipping of Iraq.
