http://www.kansaspress.ku.edu/righitpix.html

It is said that over 150,000 jews served the third reich during the second world war. And thats reported to be more then the number of jews serving germany in the first world war. More jews helped Hitler in 1939-45 then germany in 1914-18 pretty interesting huh?

P.S: Link to the book http://www.kansaspress.ku.edu/righit.html

Why is that interesting?

well you have to admit its not something people would expect

No more surprising than the Muslim Handschar SS division.

well muslims would be less suprising since they were enemys of the jewish race and himmler figured the enemy of my enemy is my friend so it was only natural that he start employing muslims into the third reich

And why would the Muslims be the enemy of the Jewish people (who are not a race)? Judaism, Christianity and Islam all share the same root and trace their faith back to Abraham, as I'm sure you know - and are thus called the 'religions of the book'.

These are nazis we're talking about here. Consistancy is the last thing on their minds.

Shhhhh-you'll break his fragile little mind :p

Does it really matter?

History is history. Besides, the Nazis weren't the most consistent-thinking people (like one poster already said)

Shhhhh-you'll break his fragile little mind :p


You appear to have worked out that whenever I use the phrase "as I'm sure you know", I am actually using my own private code for "look, it's obvious, a child of 5 could understand it".

Spot on BWO.
As well the German Weremacht (s/p?) was not the same as being in an SS unit.
Also a German Jew on the Eastern front I am certain was welcomed to catch a soviet bullet as any Aryan.
Many Germans who served in the German military did not consider themselves Nazis, they were Germans-who were serving Germany.
Also the Germans didnt go through their ranks telling averyone "hey we are making an honest effort to murder all the Jews, Catholics,Union Members, Homosexuals...etc ....etc.."
The Weremacht soldiers were just trying to be good German citizens and serve their country.
So no, 150,000 GERMANjews doesnt surprise me at all.

i dont know, its surprising to ME that the nazis would accept that many jews and "half jews" into the military when they were so busy killing them elsewhere.

National Socialist Germany was not the only nation killing jewish people during world war 2. The polish alone were responsible for the death of 2 million jews, The Hungarians killed 950,000 jews, romanians killed several thousand as well and many camps were run by foreign volenteers and soldiers from the other axis nations such as vichy france and fascist italy(also the danes,swedes, ukrainians, and russians under occupied europe worked in the camps too) so I find it stupid that people blame the entire halocaust on germany itself when in fact most of europe contributed to the halocaust in one way or another.
