Sonderstab F was created on 20 May 1941 and ceased to exist on 20 June 1941. On 23, May, the instructions for Sonderstab F were detailed by German dictator Adolf Hitler in Führer Directive No. 30 (Weisung Nr. 30). The directive detailed German intervention in support of Arab nationalists who seised the government in Iraq and were being confronted by the British. The mission included a Brandenburger Regiment, a German Air Force (Luftwaffe), and a German Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt) component. Many members of the various mission components had received orders prior to 23 May and were in Iraq at the time Weisung Nr. 30 was issued. Armed conflict between the British and the Iraqis started on 2 May. According to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the ?vigourous instructions? provided by Hitler were "belated" and developed at a time when ?all chance of useful Axis intervention had passed.?
