British test pilot Eric "Winkle" Brown states that Ernst Heinkel was a Jew.

Is this correct?

How would Brown know?

There's nothing on wiki about Heinkel being a Jew or of Jewish extraction
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Heinkel

Maybe he disclosed his lineage to Winkle Brown after the war.

Heinkel's physiognomy may indicate he was a mischling
