Seyid Mubashir Khan Tirazi

Sever Mubashir-khan Tirazi ( agent name “Hanza” ) was appointed Abwehr as the next head of the Union agent-sabotage organization, transformed into the Faal. The leadership of the underground Faal organization also included: large kurbashi - Kurshirmat, Nurmamad (Nur Muhammed), Abdul Ahad Kara and a representative of the Bukhara emir Haji ^[3] ..

Collaborating with Abwehr and Japanese intelligence, Seyid Mubashir Khan Tirazi began preparing the Basmach formations for a campaign in Bukhara. In a message from G. Pilger on July 24, 1942 to Berlin:

“Spiritual in its essence, the national-Turkestan secret anti-Bolshevik organization“ Union ”and the especially secret structure“ League ”that is created inside of it, which was created specifically for the restoration of the Bukhara emirate, is headed by the emir himself (later Audi). But since he fears troubles from the Afghan of the government that provided him with hospitality, he was highlighted by Hanza, whose son is engaged to one of his daughters.

- G. Pilger

Hanza was the direct manager of the Union and the League. He was generously provided with financial resources to ensure:

• According to the situation, establish contact between Soviet Turkestan and Afghanistan
• to prepare for the sending of military units to Turkestan
• strengthen the Faal’s contact with the German forces ready for military operations in Turkestan and Afghanistan ^[4] ..

The plan of the Union provided for by the spring of 1943, when mountain passages in northern Afghanistan would be opened, to form and arm 20-30 thousand Basmachs to liberate Bukhara. Germany has committed itself to providing Faal support not only financially, but also by arms. The delivery of weapons should have been provided by German Luftwaffe aircraft. The plans of Abwehr included landing in the Central Asian Soviet republics, primarily in the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic, of sabotage groups manned by soldiers and officers of the Turkestan Legion. In Poland, near the city of Wroclaw, a secret training base was created under the name “SS-20 Forest Camp”, or “Turkestan Main Camp”, saboteurs were trained there ^[5] .

To form a unified and controlled force, coordinate its actions, Germany and Japan made efforts to unite disparate Basmach formations, then in the spring of 1943 they entered the territory of the USSR. To carry out these tasks, “Faal” formed its own center in Kunduz and from there planned to expand its agent network in the Soviet Central Asian republics. By that time, the liaison of Seyid Mubashir-khan Tirazi had established contact with the kurbashi of the Kyrgyz basmachi Kamchi-bek; since September 1941 he had made an armed attack on Soviet territory. Kurbashi agreed on joint actions and Kamchi-bek pulled his forces to the Soviet border. Turkmen Kurbashi Kyzyl Ayak also confirmed his readiness to launch an offensive on Soviet territory ^[6] ..

At the end of the summer of 1942, the Faal center in Kunduz reported to the German embassy in Kabul that in the north of Afghanistan Basmach detachments in the amount of 70 thousand were waiting for orders to speak out against the Soviet Union. But it is noted that only 15 thousand of them are armed. Informing the Germans about the overestimated size of their formations, the Faal leaders planned to receive more financial means and weapons from Germany ^[7] .

The wide scale of the preparation of Basmachist formations for an attack on the Soviet Central Asian republics was not a secret for the Afghan government, intelligence agencies of the USSR and England. In order not to spoil interstate relations, the Afghan authorities authorized the arrest in early April 1943 of the leader of the Faal, Seyid Mubashir Khan Tirazi, and over a hundred members of this organization. For the complete liquidation of the intelligence network of axis countries in Afghanistan, at the suggestion of England to the Soviet leadership, to exert joint pressure on Kabul in order to demand that Hashim Khan liquidate the Faal and expel German and Japanese intelligence agents from the country ^[8] .

On April 4, 1943, he was arrested by the Secret Police in Kabul , among more than two dozen members of the Faal organization, who testified against Seyid Mabashir Khan Tirazi that, on his instructions, they were transported through Amu Darya to Soviet territory for monetary compensation in connection with anti-Soviet underground ^[9] .
