The sources support that Nazi Germany pursued a deliberate alliance with the Islamic world, including Husseini's cooperation and tens of thousands of Muslim volunteers in the Wehrmacht and SS, and one source calls it a 'Nazi-Islamist alliance'.

What was said
… examples in rebuttal of officers within the SD chain of command quite literally ransoming Jews to some of these Zionist personages and allowing them to emigrate to Palestine, that really derived more from personal corruption than anything else. You know, when these neocons or these, uh, Chetnik types insist that the Third Reich was allied with Dar al islam, that actually is true, and we've gotten into that in prior series. The Fuhrer did not have this notion that, well, let's hand, uh, Palestine and the Levant, which held profound geostrategic significance, let's hand this over to this organized, hyper militaristic Jewish cadre, …

Contradicts. Scholarship says Nazi attempts to instrumentalize Islam were unsuccessful, and that Nazi Germany failed to win enough Arab and Muslim support, so the alliance was partial and contested rather than a settled alliance with the Islamic world.[1][2][3]
Supports. Motadel's book describes Berlin's 'remarkably ambitious attempts to build an alliance with the Islamic world', including promoting the Reich as a patron of Islam and recruiting Muslim volunteers.[1][4][5]
Supports. Historical accounts describe al-Husseini, the mufti of Jerusalem, cooperating with Hitler and the Axis, and a 2014 book by Rubin and Schwanitz frames the relationship as a 'Nazi-Islamist alliance'.[6][7]
Context. The sources describe the relationship as tempestuous, with most Nazi leaders reserved about Muslim allies, so the claim's sweeping framing is contested among historians.[1][3]
