Per Albin Hansson (October 28, 1885–October 6, 1946), leader of the Swedish Social Democrats, was Prime Minister in four governments between 1932 and 1946, including the coalition government which was formed during World War II, and included all major parties except the Communists.

 Alternate History Discussion Board - Victorious Imperial German Arms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Scrapping the navy is believable, although the German goal was not to overpower the British (as was the common belief and is still sworn to by Anglophiles) but to ensure that the British couldn't overpower the Germans.
German technical advisors filling the gaps also makes sense, but the Ottomans had lots of experience balancing the interests of the Powers and would be unlikely to rely too much on just one - for instance, pre-War the navy had British advisors, the Army German, and the Gendermes French.
Ottoman and German interests are going to begin to conflict in the Caucasus and Central Asia, and Britain is well-placed to exploit that divide.
