JEWS IN THE ARMY
In spite of the Nazi attitude to German Jews, which has led to their being deprived of full citizenship, they are not excluded from the army. On the contrary, they are being freely recruited without too many questions being asked. The original plan under which military service was to be restricted to men of Aryan origin has been modified. Pure Jews are to go into the supplementary reserve, but those with less than 60 per cent, of Jewish blood may volunteer for active service to a board which is not worrying very much about the applicant's blood if he is physically fit. So, although the Nazi must treat the Jew as an inferior, he is willing that the Jew should die for him.
