No, the Ottoman Empire was not supporting Nazis, and your far fetched attempt at making that claim is outrageous. During the reign of Hitler, Turkey was under secular anti-Islam (very much not Ottoman) rule. Quit your bullshit. In fact, arguably, the Ottoman Empire has historically provided a safe haven for the jews during their persecution.

The experience of Jews in the Ottoman Empire is particularly significant because the region "provided a principal place of refuge for Jews driven out of Western Europe by massacres and persecution." Source

The establishment of Israel with the help of the Brits is the repayment for that.
