I've come accross bits and pieces of this before, but not anything this comprehensive. It doesn't really suprise me though. Hitler essentially viewed his armies as expendable, and why not let some jewish soldiers kill Russians for him. As the war went on, the racial purity standards for the SS were dropped to the point that even non Germans, as long as they had no Jewish parents, could join. At the start of the war you had to prove your lineage sevenor eight generations.

Not the case. Jews were drafted into the Wehrmacht in 1939.
