“Lt. Berenbaum was drafted and had no choice
I think they called him Mike.”
Wrong book.
derszoger: Yes, many Jews fought on both sides in WWI and were proud of it. The Nazi government and the Kaiser’s government were not the same thing. (An awesome novel about it is From The Four Winds by Haim Sabato.)
I would not have been drafted, but considering that my great-grandfather was shot to death by the Nazis in 1939, if I had heard of it in 1941 (or 42 or whatever) I would have been on the next boat out to fight.
