The Turkish Land Forces (Turkish: "Türk Kara Kuvvetleri" ), or Turkish Army (Turkish: "Türk Ordusu" ), is the main branch of the Turkish Armed Forces responsible for land-based military operations.  Official claims state that the army was founded by Modu Chanyu of the Xiongnu Empire in 209 BC, but the modern history of the army began with its formation after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.  Significant events since the foundation of the Army include combat in the Korean War and in the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, and acting as a NATO bulwark along Cold War frontiers through 1992.  The army holds the preeminent place within the armed forces.  It is customary for the Chief of the General Staff of the Republic of Turkey to have been the Commander of the Turkish Land Forces prior to his appointment as Turkey's senior ranking officer.  Alongside the other two armed services, the Turkish Army has frequently intervened in Turkish politics, which has now been regulated to an extent with the reform of the National Security Council.  The current commander of the Turkish Land Forces is General Salih Zeki Çolak. Josef "Sepp" Dietrich (28 May 1892 – 21 April 1966) was an "Oberst-Gruppenführer" in the Waffen-SS, the armed paramilitary branch of the "Schutzstaffel" (SS), who commanded units up to army level during World War II.  Prior to 1929, he was Adolf Hitler's chauffeur and bodyguard but received rapid promotion after his participation in the extrajudicial executions of political opponents during the 1934 purge known as the Night of the Long Knives.  He later commanded 6th Panzer Army during the Battle of the Bulge.  Despite having no formal staff officer education, Dietrich was, along with Paul Hausser, the highest ranking officer in the Waffen-SS.  After the war he was imprisoned by the United States for war crimes and later by West Germany for his involvement in the 1934 purge. Dai-gensui (grand marshal; literally "great marshal" (大元帥 ) ) was the highest rank of the Greater Imperial Japanese Army and the Imperial Japanese Navy from the 1870s to 1945, when the Empire of Japan was dissolved.  The rank was only ever held by the Emperor of Japan as commander-in-chief of the Empire's Armed Forces and, separately, the highest ranking officer in each of the Armed Services.  The rank was equivalent to a "generalissimo" or general of the armies and admiral of the navy, being a six-star rank senior to the rank of "gensui" ("marshal").  It formally became obsolete in 1947 when the Imperial Japanese armed forces were abolished.
