List of Nazis of non-Germanic descent

List of Nazis of non-Germanic descent Sign in to edit 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; the so-called Ruhrpolen settled in North Rhine-Westphalia in the 1870s. 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) which were Jews or of Jewish descent.[1] 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] Miervaldis Adamsons, Latvian Gunter d'Alquen, German Nazi, French paternal descent Hermann Baranowski, German Nazi, Germanised Polish descent Žanis Butkus, Latvian Karl Chmielewski, German Nazi, Germanised Polish descent Jef François, Flemish Andrejs Freimanis, Latvian Roberts Gaigals, Latvian Rūdolfs Gaitars, Latvian Nikolajs Galdiņš, Latvian Odilo Globocnik, Austrian Nazi, Germanised Slavic (Slovene and Czech) descent Eugen Hadamovsky, German Nazi, Germanised Slavic descent Bronislav Kaminski, Russian, Polish father and German mother Erich Kempka,[2] German Nazi, Ruhr Polish descent Karl Kloskowski, German Nazi, Germanised Polish descent Horst Kopkow, German Nazi, East Prussian Berndt Lubich von Milovan, German Nazi, East Prussian Emil Maurice,[3] German Nazi, Jewish great-grandfather Erhard Milch, German Nazi, Jewish father (reclassified as Aryan by Adolf Hitler) Martin James Monti, Italian-American Joachim Mrugowsky, German Nazi, Germanised Polish descent Kārlis Mūsiņš, Latvian Karl Nicolussi-Leck, Austrian Nazi, Tyrolian Franz Novak, Austrian Nazi, Germanised Carinthian Slovene descent Heinz Nowotnik, German Nazi, Germanised Polish descent Alois Obschil, German Nazi, Germanised Czechoslovak Harry Paletta, German Nazi, West Prussian Wladimir von Pawlowski, Austrian Nazi, Germanised Carinthian Slovene descent Oskars Perro, Latvian Alexander Piorkowski, German Nazi, Germanised Polish descent Harry Polewacz, German Nazi, Germanised Polish descent Hermann Potschka, Austrian Nazi, Germanised Moravian descent Felix Przedwojewski, German Nazi, Germanised Polish descent Paul Otto Radomski, German Nazi, Germanised Slavic descent Pio Filippani Ronconi, Italian Fritz Scherwitz, German Nazi, Jewish Hermann Senkowsky, Austrian Nazi, Germanised Carinthian Slovene descent Otto Skorzeny, Austrian Nazi, Germanised Polish descent Lothar Swierzinski, German Nazi, Ruhr Polish descent Lauri Törni, Finnish Alfred Trzebinski, German Nazi, Germanised Polish descent Erich Wasicky, Austrian Nazi, Germanised Carinthian Slovene descent Emil Wawrzinek, German Nazi, Silesian See also
