Jewish Aviators in the World War
Jewish soldiers fought in all armies of World War I. approximately 100,000 Jews enlisted in the German army of a population of only 500,000; of them, 12,000 were killed and thousands more severely wounded. They fought both out of patriotism for the Fatherland and from the hope that their sacrifices would end antisemitism. Unfortunately, antisemitism continued during the war (the "Jewish Census" in 1916) and even more after the war with the "stab-in-the-back" myth.
The Jews fought back, especially the "Reich Association of Jewish Frontline Soldiers". We all know that their efforts failed.
Dr. Felix A. Theilhaber, who served as a physician during the war, wrote a short book about German Jewish aviators, emphasizing their bravery and their sacrifice. The book is quite disorganized but the reader can sense Theilhaber's anguish at the antisemitic denial of their service.
