In 1921 Soviet Russia also moved into a working relationship with another of the former enemy states. Acting upon Enver Pasha’s (أنور باشا) suggestion, the leaders of the new German army entered into a secret partnership with the Soviet regime. The head of the army, Enver’s friend General von Seeckt, established “Special Branch R” in the War Ministry to administer the relationship, which encompassed war production, military training, and the development of new weaponry. German officers were permitted to study weapons forbidden to them by the victorious Allies—tanks and airplanes, in particular—on Russian soil. German industrial enterprises established factories in Russia to manufacture poison gas, explosive shells, and military aircraft. The German army established training academies for its tank commanders and fighter pilots on Soviet territory. At the same time, Soviet Russia sent officers to Germany to be schooled in the methods that had been developed by the feared and admired German General Staff.
