The article seems to focus on German operations in India and South Asia. The key target area of the Nachrichtenstelle was the so-called "Arab World", mainly the French and British colonial possessions in North Africa, and their strong activities in the crumbling Ottoman Empire, namely in the Arab parts of the Ottoman empire: the Levant, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Libya, the Arab peninsula, Iraq, Yemen. Oppenheim was only initially the head of Nachrichtenstelle, beginning in 1916 the head was Eugen Mittwoch, who is also known in the USA as an important Orthodox Jewish teacher and Rabbi, namely of the famous "Rav" Joseph B. Soloveitchik. Other people working for Nachrichtenstelle who became later famous in the United States include Ernst Jaeckh (who later was professor at Columbia University and founded the Middle East department there), Max Rudolf Kaufmann, and Nahum Goldmann (later president of the World Jewish Congress). --Ischtiraki (talk) 10:32, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
