The Fuhrer of Nazi Germany gave military training to members of the now-banned Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, a pro-government cleric has claimed.
Egypt's former grand mufti has recently said that the Muslim Brotherhood sent hundreds of its members to receive "training" from the Nazi regime in the 1940s.
Shiekh Ali Gomaa said on his religious television programme Wallahu Alam that the Brotherhood was originally founded as a proselytisation movement before it became a political party.
"For the 11 years before 1939 the Brotherhood were good and everyone supported them, after that they began training in Helwan, Tora and Natrun," the Shiekh said.

"They sent 700 members to train under Hitler. This came to light much later in documents released by German authorities," he added.
