These pictures are from my fathers album: Berlin 1937. Hamza Ozmeral , a young cadet of the Turkish navy is pursuing higher education at the University of Humboldt. "Heil Hitler" is the salute of the times. The Turkish cadet often refuses to do this salute. He proudly wears a pin bearing Ataturk's picture on the color of his jacket.
Bu resimler babamin albümünden ,1937 yılının Berlin resimleri. O zamanlar Hamza Özmeral , Humboldt Üniversitesinde yüksek tahsilini yapan genç bir Deniz Lisesi mezunu. Zamanin selamı "Heil Hitler" demeyi reddeden genç öğrenci, ceket yakasinda Atatürkün resmi olan bir rozeti iftiharla taşımakta.
Diese Fotos stammen aus dem Album meines Vaters aus dem Jahre 1937 in Berlin.
Damals studierte Hamza Özmeral, ein junger Kadett der türkischen Marine an der Universitaet von Humboldt. Zu jener Zeit war "Heil Hitler" eine übliche Grussform; der türkische Kadett verweigerte diesen Hitler-Gruss.
Stolz trug er an seinem Kragen eine Anstecknadel, worauf Atatürk abgebildet war.
