The Nazis cultivated a “poppy army” in the Middle East to supply opium. Some of those same Nazis came to Northern Virginia to cultivate “poppy armies” in Afghanistan through Pak ISI, resulting in Operations like Cassandra, a $200M a month Operation here in VA. What changed?

Arab Revenge?

A quick online search for "Hanak Hassim" and "Mueller" ...

which adds:
"...Bey, is directing the recruiting program. Posts for training the German-Arab army reportedly were located in Egypt, Lebanon, Iran and Saudi Arabia."

The above suggests it's a pdf, however - the identity on the bottom of the pdf has ragged font which appears intentional perhaps to deceive
-the pdf image suggests the source is a Paris 'newspaper' yet the script is in English, indicating it is not an image of the actual article, but a reference to an undated one.
-the pdf offers nothing more - only 1 of 1 pages

No original link to the French newspaper online however...a link to a German article with same info, confirming identity:
http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-21976659.html
quote via google translation:

===>The concerns are of a different nature: "We do not want to get involved in political conspiracies of the Arabs." Does the Egyptian military mission confine itself to the land on the Nile or extend it to the Persian Gulf? Is it just a coincidence that the emigrant Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Mohammed Amin Al Husseini, the General Agent of All-Arabia, lives near the German officer colony? "

Today, Hanak Hassim Bey calls himself "convert" former Lieutenant Colonel Hans Müller of the staff of Field Marshal Romme, who shortened his POW period in Africa by adventurous escape from a British desert camp and then submerged in Syria.
He had traveled through West Germany months ago to collect former German tankers, air force specialists and technicians of all types of arms collectively for the armies of Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia - as a substitute for the English and French
Officers who have trained the armies of the Arab world so far.
