After Hitler came to power, he began to massacre Jews on a large scale, and as for the reason for this, some people say that it was because Hitler was bullied by the Jews as a child, and he began to hate the Jews from then on, but there is no real evidence for this. Hitler set up concentration camp after concentration camp, where millions of Jews were tortured, and behind Hitler's massacre of Jews was the plundering of Jewish assets.
Before Hitler came to power, the status of the Jews in Germany was not low, and even had a lot of influence, and they had the same social status as the rest of germany. Before the outbreak of World War II, more than 500,000 Jews served in the army. By the time of World War II, there were more than 550,000 Jews in Germany, including more than 150,000 in the army. Let's explain why there are 150,000 Jews in the army.
Before explaining this question, let's talk about the pedigree of these soldiers. In the German massacres, not all Jews were killed. Ninety thousand of these people are of 1/2 Jewish descent, meaning that one of the parents is Jewish. Of the remaining 60,000 people, only 1/4 are of Jewish descent. That is to say, one of their grandparents was Jewish. For example, German Field Marshal Erhard Mirch's father was Jewish, and Lieutenant General Helmut Schmidt's grandfather was Jewish. They should not have appeared at the top, but they gained this status by virtue of their personal abilities.
From the previous attitude, it can also be seen that these Jewish soldiers appear in the army. This is because, relatively speaking, Germany belongs to a small country, and in the case of insufficient population, it can only retreat to the second place. You must know that when the fight comes later, let alone the Jews, they will all go up. Hitler also recruited 500,000 German women soldiers from the German rear, and the war was fought to this point, and some German troops even said that there was no point.
With the permission of the Germans, the Jews themselves had to join the army. Know that if you live in the rear, even if you are not a pure-breed Jew, you may be slaughtered. But as long as you join the army, it is equivalent to having a shelter. Therefore, many pure-bred Jews at that time even tried to join the army. Being killed by the enemy is better than being tortured to death in a concentration camp. In order to join the army, some people even do not hesitate to change their origins.
As the most important support for Hitler's ambitions, the army could not be destabilized by anti-Semitism, so the German army became a refuge for Jews from persecution, so it was not unusual that there were 150,000 Jews in the German army during World War II. But Germany's persecution of other Jews continued, especially after Germany began its war mobilization in 1943, when the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. In addition to the need to be defeated and indignant, six million Jews were used by Germany as a war resource like oil and steel, filling the abyss of evil in the Third German Reich.
