No, it is not a lie. An example was the German Jewish historian Ernst Kantorowicz was part of the Freikorps and stayed with the Nazi's until he was forced out 1939.
There were a number of Jews in the Freikorps (early name for the Brown shirts)

The Nazi party always specifically forbid Jewish membership.

Did one or two nuts come in anyway? Probably. There were black members of the KKK and white members of the Black Panthers. There are always nuts.

But 99 44/100 did not and were actively in opposition.

To try to hold the nuts up as a valid example is like saying Nancy Pelosi is the official spokesmen for Roman Catholics.

“Kantorowicz was part of the Freikorps and stayed with the Nazi’s until he was forced out 1939.”

Another lie.

Kantorowicz left Germany in 1933 for Oxford, forced out by Nazi racial policies. By 1939, he was a professor at Berkeley.

Further, while it is true that, as a younger man Kantorowicz embraced the Romantic ultranationalism of the George-Kreis, he had only disdain for Nazism and was a vocal critic of Hitler’s regime.

Was Kantorowicz part of the Freikorps (early brown shirts) or not?

Latter in life Kantorowicz was out spoken against the Nazi's when it was to late that was my original point. They don't learn until it is to late.
