Ioannis Metaxas was born in Cephalonia in 1871. At the age of twenty, Metaxas graduated from the Athens Military Academy with the rank of lieutenant and proceeded to the German Military Academy to further his studies. Metaxas, who served in the Balkan Wars, was promoted to the position of Chief of the Military Staff in 1915. After Venizelos came to power, Metaxas, who could not reconcile with Venizelos, left his duties, and embarked on political life in 1917. He served as the Minister of War in the Demircis Cabinet formed in 1936 and was later appointed as the Prime Minister. On August 4, 1936, General Metaxas became the Head of Government with extensive authority. The present study analyzed the visit of Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas to Türkiye on October 18-22, 1937, and his meetings and contacts in İstanbul and Ankara within the scope of this visit. Metaxas' negotiations in Ankara were of great significance for the course of Turkish-Greek relations and the unity of the Balkan Entente. Metaxas met with Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, Prime Minister Ismet Inonu, and Deputy Prime Minister Celal Bayar during his visit to Ankara. Metaxas visited various sites and institutions in Ankara and was welcomed with interest, enthusiasm, and love by the people of the city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Military sociology in Germany showed itself in the studies after the Second World War, and as in most countries of the world, American sociological models formed the basis of early German Military Sociology. In particular, the work of Janowitz and Huntington has had a significant impact on German Military Sociology. In addition, research centers funded by the German Armed Forces and publicly-funded foundations, often affiliated with a German political party, carried out military sociological research at certain times. The studies carried out in these centers were not limited to applied research on urgent military problems, but also basic, theory-oriented research on the relationship between the army and society. In this article, the foundational motives, academic institutionalization adventure and basic methodological and theoretical orientation of German Military Sociology are examined. In addition, compared to its Anglo-Saxon counterpart, inadequacies of German Military Sociology through the eyes of German military sociologists are discussed. This study aims to contribute to military sociology studies, which are few in number in Turkish literature. It is also evaluated that along with the American Military Sociology, German Military Sociology can also offer an alternative for research in Turkey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Prussian tradition in Ottoman military modernization began with Captain Helmuth von Moltke. Approximately a century after the activities of the delegation headed by Helmuth von Moltke in the Ottoman army, advisors from Germany were re-assigned by the Republic of Turkey at various levels of the army. Compared to previous military delegations, German consultants, whose duties were limited to lecturing at military academies on paper, resigned from their official duties in Germany. They have signed special agreements with the Turkish Armed Forces that do not bind their own countries and military institutions, and have served in Turkey for a wage higher than the salary they earned in their country. Between 1925 and 1939, apart from the military attachés in the German embassies in Turkey, 36 German served in Turkish Military and Naval War Schools. Among these, Hilmar von Mittelberger is the most prominent name with his works that he left behind in a short period of 7 years, with his last position in Germany with the rank of lieutenant general. The German general, who returned to his country with the beginning of the Second World War, attended the talks about Turkey at the headquarters of his country's general staff, where he informed the generals of the German army about Turkey's defense power.

There have been a lot of researches on social memory literature in Germany in recent years. For writers, Germany is a state with a wide range of materials in terms of historical matters. Especially the historical process that Germany went through between 1933 and 1945 is still on the agenda. The writers of historical novels, who take the subject from the historical events of this period, interpret these events from their own point of view and also attach importance to the individual's narrative. In this way, the historical facts narrated in the family as a whole destroy the taboos through literary expression. The way of the reassessment of the history which was forgotten or was made to forget has been opened with this trend called Erinnerungsliterat in Germany while Social Memory in Turkey. Tanja Dückers' historical novel "Himmelskörper" in German Literature is characteristic of social memory literature. The theme of the novel was based on the Wilhelm Gustloff German military transport ship called, which was submerged by Russian submarine in the Second World War. We aimed with this research to study this novel and to reflect a social reality of Germany experienced in the World War II. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
