I know this question seems oddly specific, but I have a very specific reason to ask it: I once met a WWII veteran who said this happened. However, I've never been able to find any documentation of it.
This woman was a Free French fighter, and as she tells it, she was away from her unit's base (a château, somewhere in the occupied North IIRC) when it came under attack by a band of German-aligned Gurkhas, killing most or all of the fighters inside (I forget which). I believe she said the Gurkhas had been turned in North Africa.
This woman was later decorated for her role in recovering downed Allied fighter pilots earlier in the war (I've seen the commendation), so it's not like she'd have much reason to make up other things. And the story seems too specific to be one of those half-accidental embellishments that come with old age. However, as I said, my (cursory) searches haven't turned up any records of Gurkhas fighting for the Germans, although I do know the two groups indeed fought in North Africa. Is this a known occurrence, is it a missing chapter from the history books, or should I assume this sweet old lady lied to me?
It might very well be a case of misidentification. Did she mention how she recognized them to be Ghurkas? (For example, the use of their kukri or the war cry 'Ayo Ghurkali!'). It is possible that her unit came under attack by a unit from the Turkistanische Legion that consisted of volunteers from Central Asian countries. These men could have various ethnic appearances and this excellent photograph, taken in northern France 1943, shows just that. Since the Turkistanische Legion and its battalions were used in anti-partisan actions, there is a very strong possibility that this is what she might have spoken about.
Are you sure they were ghurkas and not just for let British soldiers from india? Because there is a large difference and I'm not aware of any actual ghurkas fighting for the NAZIs
My guess would be that it's referring to Indian soldiers in general as there was a significant number of former British Indian soldiers which joined both the German and Japanese army's but they weren't ghurkas atleast not proper ghurkas
