Grand Mufti of Jerusalem visits the 13th SS Division. The division commander, SS-Brigadeführer Karl-Gustav Sauberzweig, passes the first plate of soup to the Grand Mufti during lunch at the Neuhammer barracks (sitting to the Mufti's right is SS-Hauptsturmführer Husein Đozo, deputy division imam). As a devoted antisemite and anglophobe (and for large amounts of money too), the Grand Mufti publicly supported and worked for the Axis powers throughout the war. He considered the Bosnian Muslims the "cream of Islam" and played a key role in the formation of their SS division.

Veliki muftija jerusalimski u poseti 13. SS-diviziji. Komandant divizije, SS-brigadefirer Karl-Gustav Zaubercvajg, dodaje prvi tanjir supe velikom muftiji za ručkom u kasarni u Nojhameru (sa muftijine desne strane sedi SS-hauptšturmfirer Husein Đozo, zamenik imama divizije). Kao izraziti antisemita i anglofob (a i za velike svote novca), veliki muftija je tokom rata javno podržavao i radio za sile Osovine. Bosanske muslimane je smatrao "kremom islama" i odigrao je ključnu ulogu u formiranju njihove SS-divizije.
