Zusammenfassung:The USA had recognised Turkey's geopolitical and military importance in the early 1940s. In 1943, the USA had already begun to use Turkey as a base for certain kinds of military operation. These helped to confirm in the minds of American military planners the strategic importance of Turkey and represented a military foothold in that country, which was dramatically expanded in the 1950s. The initial focus of these operations was the secret Adana Station, which the article discusses.
