That is interesting, Chris. Would you mind posting photos of this
soldbuch on the forum? I'd love to see it and I'm sure others here
would, too.

Please do post it!

I remeber the following anecdote, but can't remember the title of the book, sorry.

When the national formations of the Waffen-SS were brought up to strength, all personel from formations of the Wehrmacht and the auxiliaries were scrached together. Only a black french NSKK driver from Martinique was rejected for Charlemagne.

@Chris M.

A superb find and contribution. And thank you for the information on the Jewish Luftwaffe member as well.

You may find this little factoid interesting. Horst Sabac el Cher, a mulatto, was in the Stahlhelm and served on the eastern front as a medic. The story of the family is told here: http://www.amazon.com/Warwolves-Iron-Cr ... 2919063/_1

Anyway, thanks again for posting this wonderful photo.

There were soldiers of African decent in III Reich forces. The name used at the time was "Reichsneger". A google search using this awful word
will provide further information for those interested.
