I was watching "Sink the Bismark" on the History Channel. They mention that the Ship's captain had been told by the party to remove his Jewish officers but had refused to remove some of them. No further mention is made of it. This leaves me wondering. Did Jews actually sail, fight aboard and perhaps go down with the Bismark? More generally, are there any documented instances of Jews fighting in the German military during WW2. It seems almost unbelievable! Does anybody know anything about this? Javier
