The Anglo–Iraqi War was the British campaign against the rebel government of Rashid Ali in the Kingdom of Iraq during the Second World War. Operations lasted from 2 to 31 May 1941. The campaign resulted in the re-occupation of Iraq by British armed forces and the return to power of the ousted pro-British regent of Iraq, Prince 'Abd al-Ilah. The campaign further fuelled nationalist resentment in Iraq toward the British-supported Hashemite monarchy.

  • As part of their covert support to the anti-British forces, Germany formed the Sonderkommando Junck, a special formation of aircraft dispatched to Iraq, complete with Iraqi Air force markings. This force consisted of Bf 110D-2 fighters from 4./ZG 76, He 111H-6 bombers from II/KG 4, and a number of Junkers Ju 52 and Junkers Ju 90 transports.
