HITLER'S JEWISH SOLDIERS THE UNTOLD STORY OF NAZI RACIAL LAWS AND MEN OF JEWISH DECENT IN THE GERMAN MILITARY
Book Type: C By Bryan Mark Rigg. Contrary to conventional views. Rigg reveals that a startlingly large number of German military men were classified by the Germans as Jews or "partial-Jews", and demonstrates that the actual number was much higher than previously thought, perhaps as many as 150,000 men, including decorated veterans and high-ranking officers, even generals and admirals. As Rigg fully documents for the first time, a great many of these men did not even consider themselves Jewish and had embraced the military as a way of life and as devoted patriots eager to serve a revived German nation. There were many exemption orders issued, many with Hitler's signature on them, that allowed a soldier to stay within the ranks or to spare a soldier's parent, spouse, or other relative from incarceration or even worse. Based on a deep and wide-ranging research as well as extensive interviews with more than four hundred of these soldiers, Rigg's study breaks new ground in a crowded field and shows another essence of Hitler's rule. 500 pp.
