TIL at least 150k of soldiers in the Nazi German army were at least half Jewish.

Interesting video by a historian I came across. BTW, dudes channel is great for history rarely focused on during WW2 if that interests you.

The ddude legit has written 20 something books and written for historical documentaries on Netflix, history channel, and BBC. He started a YouTube channel as a side hustle but was a well known historian before this.

Also, if you don't think a lot of soldiers who were responsible for killing jews were Jewish is at the very least "interesting", not saying necessarily surprising, then

I don't get the energy my breh.

Wouldn't be surprised

 

[Carl Tethers]

Nah, they said they were Jew-ish

He also did a video on another topic I didn't know about before I saw it which is how the US helped Japanese war criminals get away with their crimes.

Association of German National Jews - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

possible reason why some German Jews supported Hitler may have been that they thought that his anti-Semitism was only for "stirring up the masses".

The seemingly ironic fact that a Jewish association advocated loyalty to the Nazi program gave rise to a contemporary joke about Naumann and his followers ending their meeting by giving the Nazi salute and shouting "Down With Us!".[8][9]

Despite the extreme nationalism of Naumann and his colleagues, the Nazi regime did not accept them. The Association of German National Jews was declared illegal and dissolved on 18 November 1935. Naumann was arrested by the Gestapo the same day, and imprisoned at the Columbia concentration camp. He was released after a few weeks, and died of cancer in May 1939

Human beings.

A lot of them were kids of upwardly mobile German men and their Jewish wives. Not really surprised. Like most fascists, they gave the nazi men the excuse to date out and ruin other people's family structure while maintaining theirs.

 

[THE 101]

There's been rumors that even Hitler was part Jewish.
