I am a German of Turkish (...and Greek ...and Bulgarian) origin. My mother language is German (Fun fact: My mother does not speak German, so, maybe I should also call it my "primary language"). I do speak Turkish but like many Turkish people who have been born in Germany, I can't communicate well in Turkish[1] (and neither in Greek nor Bulgarian). If I were to join an army and communicate under stress (being a pacifist, even the thought gives me the chills though), I'd rather speak German or compromise with English. So, as I said before, I think there is a high chance that they do communicate partially in English. However close-minded they can be, practicality always wins. Always. [1]: Actually some do speak Turkish somewhat fluently, but I can't tell if being able to describe your favorite cocktail to a bartender in a Turkish hotel proves that you can describe further tactics to fellow combatants under suppressive fire.
