“Image of Sardar Mohan Singh, who fought for Germany in World War II and reportedly requested weapons from Hitler to liberate India.”
What FACTLY found
The viral photo is of Sardar Mohan Singh, who was involved in banking and education, and has no connection to any military service or involvement in World War II. In contrast, General Mohan Singh was affiliated with the INA and was deployed to Malaya on behalf of the Allied forces to fight against Japan, which was an ally of Germany.
