Bund der Asienkämpfer
The Bund der Asienkämpfer (BdAK), more rarely mentioned as Bund Deutscher Asienkämpfer (BDAK), meaning "League of Asian Warriors" or "League of German Asian Warriors", was a social welfare organization for German veterans who had been in the Asia Corps, the units of the German Empire at the service of the Ottoman Empire in the Near East and the Balkans during World War I. == History == The BdAK was established in 1918, at the end of the war, by German ex-armymen. One of their main purposes was to investigate what had happened to entire missing German units of the Asia Corps, including German nurses (German Red Cross Sisters), when the Palestine-Transjordan front collapsed at the end of September 1918.
