Do you guys know of any books written about soldiers that were Jews in WW2. I was thinking about that earlier and it's a very interesting subject to me.
“The Jewish Brigade” – Morris Beckman (1998), ISBN 1-885119-56-9 about the British Army’s 5’500 Jewish Brigade who fought in Italy (44/45), and rounded-up some nazis who slipped the net after W.W.II. “Striking Back” – Peter Masters (1997), ISBN 0-891416-29-3 His life and times in/of 3 Troop, No.10 (Inter Allied) Commando [British Army]. 3 Troop (also known as X Troop, ‘British Troop’, Miscellaneous Troop) were all German speaking and many were Jewish.

Richard Rashke's Escape From Sobibor recounts the 1943 Sobibor Death Camp uprising which was organized and led by Lt. Sasha Pechersky, a Jewish POW. This book was the basis for a film of the same name which starred Rutger Hauer as Sasha Pechersky. [ 28. December 2003, 10:01 PM: Message edited by: Crapgame ]
