RIGG, BRYAN MARK. Hitler's Jewish Soldiers: The Untold Story Of Nazi Racial Laws And The Men Of Jewish Descent In The German Military.
University Press Of Kansas, Lawrence: 2002. 0700611789 / 9780700611782 Uncorrected Page Proof. s Softcover. Good condition.
Working in newly opened archives and reexamining old evidence, historian Bryan Mark Rigg turned up a surprising wrinkle in the history of Nazi Germany: the presence of part-Jewish soldiers not only in the ranks but also in the upper echelons of the German military. One such soldier recalled, "I served because I wanted to prove Hitler's racial nonsense wrong. I wanted to prove that people of Jewish descent were indeed brave and courageous soldiers." By Rigg's estimate, as many as 150,000 soldiers, sailors, and airmen of partial Jewish descent (Mischlinge, in Nazi terminology) served in Adolf Hitler's forces--some, such as field marshal and war criminal Erhard Milch, placed in high positions by Hitler himself even as he tightened the noose on the Jews of Europe. Rigg considers the role of these men as they negotiated the confusion of the monolithic, racist state in dealing with Germans of partial Jewish descent. "[Their] experience clearly demonstrates the complexity of life in the Third Reich," writes Rigg. His book sheds light on a difficult subject in the face of certain controversy, and it merits discussion.
