April 1939 - About 5 months before the start of the war, Joseph Goebbels came to Istanbul and visited Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

But I guess our bois don't care much about the Goebbels. When they went to meet, only the deputy governor went to welcome him. Our people probably didn't know enough about the man behind the scenes of the Big Third Reich and nsdap.

Own opinion he did to plan to plant a cross here (hagia sophia) as a big propaganda victory symbol? Because before the operation barbarossa starts Nazis were fighting with the Greeks and then world was waiting to the next target the Soviets or Turkey? Btw Mussolini's constant threat of Turkey is on first page of this thread.
