But the details of this Hitler assassination plot seem unrealistic, simply because there in all likelihood wouldn't be a Jewish gravedigger in Munich by late 1939. He would have left Germany by then, would have been rounded up and sent to a concentration camp, would have been killed, or would have been in hiding. It is unlikely that he could have faked being a non-Jew and gotten the job.
Jabotinsky says: “He’s a friend of mine.” It’s unlikely, but possible, and if Zev actually says that there was, we have to give that some credence. In 1939, the final solution wasn’t even close to being consummated.
My grandparents left Berlin coincidentally on the day of Kristalnacht (Nov 38, My father was in his third year of school abroad by that time). The members of my family who didn't leave Berlin were rounded up during the winter of 42-43.

I’m far from expert but I don’t see that it is so implausible -— Nazi records were imperfect, such a “Jewish grave digger” might have been in the job for many years and so not have been scrutinized during the Nazi era, and/or might have had only “part-Jewish” ancestry that the Nazis were not aware of, a grave digger was probably one of the last people they were focused upon in their “Aryan purity” campaign.....
Have you heard of the book “The Nazi Officer’s Wife”?? apparently a Jewish woman from Vienna managed to live through all of the war in Munich married to a German officer (”hiding in plain sight”)..... not saying it happened often but there may have been isolated cases based upon lost or altered documents....??
