List of Nazis of non-Germanic descent

List of Nazis of non-Germanic descent, including only notable people, such as Schutzstaffel members, who were of non-Germanic descent. Notably, there were several high-ranking Nazis of Jewish descent. There were also many of Slavic descent. See Nuremberg Laws for further information on the status of non-Aryan people in Nazi Germany.

Cambridge University researcher Bryan Rigg noted that there were two field marshals and fifteen generals (two full generals, eight lieutenant generals, five major generals) who were Jews or of Jewish descent.[1] Rigg estimated that there were 150,000 men of Jewish descent that served German armed forces during World War II. 1,671 have been identified (as of 2010).[2] The German army personnel office in January 1944 knew of 77 "high-ranking officers of mixed Jewish race or married to a Jew" serving in the Wehrmacht. All 77 had received a declaration from Hitler that they were "of German blood".[1] Hitler personally issued German Blood papers to mischlings (mixed Jewish) for their continuing service.[2]
