ALFRED ROSENBERG’İN GÖREV BİRLİĞİ VE KIRIM’DAKİ FAALİYETLERİ
ALFRED ROSENBERG'S COOPERATION AND ACTIVITIES IN CRIMEA

Summary/Abstract: The geography of Crimea has maintained its importance as a region that cannot be shared throughout history due to the advantage of its strategic location. The Crimean Khanate, which was taken under the auspices of the Ottoman Empire in 1475, was occupied by the Russian Tsardom in 1783. With the outbreak of the First World War, the Crimean Turks took part in the struggle for independence, but with the short-term German occupation in 1918, the balances changed again. Crimea was exposed to the pressure of Soviet Russia between 1923-1941. In 1941, the occupation of the German army, which entered the Crimea, was not short-lived and this time the Germans had the opportunity to carry out systematic activities in the Crimea. They wanted to establish dominance in Crimea not only in the field of military service, but also through various units. These units, which carried out archaeological excavations, also seized the artifacts found in museums and libraries in Crimea. One of these units is the Task Force of Alfred Rosenberg, the Minister responsible for the Occupied Eastern Territories. In this study, the aims of Alfred Rosenberg's Task Force and its activities in Crimea will be examined.
