Un-authenticated letter showing
a telegram sent from Adolf
Hitler to Reza Pahlavi, shah of
Iran, greeting Nowruz 1317.
The telegram dated March 20,
1938 and being translated from
German to Farsi by Ministry of
P.T.T., Radio Pahlavi. We were
not able to find the original
document sent by German
government nor found any other
source to certify this document.
German government was interested
in Iran due to Iranian Aryan
race as well as having a vast
border with Soviet Union.
Reza Pahlavi also was interested
in German ideology against
communism.
Sadegh Hedayat in his book "Haji
Agha" written in 1324, mentions
about Hitler's interests in Iran
and the mentality of some
Iranian elite who were
supporting Hitler's war against
bolshevism. Haji agha, the
shrewd main character of the
story believes that Hitler would
soon free Iran from Western
occupation. Hedayat has
chosen a smart way of describing
the existing situation in early
1320s in Iran's political and
social life and believe to be
one of his best realistic
novels.
There are
internet sources that have
discussed the closeness of
German government with Iran
during 1936-1941 before Reza Pahlavi's exile.
EMERSON VERMAAT on his article
called, "Both Hitler And The
German Nazis Courted Iran"
writes about Max Domarus, an
anti-Nazi German writer and
historian, published Hitler's
most important speeches and
proclamations. He describes how
Hitler sent a congratulatory
telegram to Iranian Shah Reza
(Reza Pahlavi) on the occasion
of the latter's birthday on
March 5, 1941. And on
March 20,
1941, Hitler sent another
congratulatory telegram to the
Shah on the occasion of the
Iranian Nowruz Spring festival.
