Apart from Albert Einstein (born in Ulm) and his colleagues, we could look at the US general staff of WW2, starting with Dwight Eisenhower, both of whose parents were of German descent.

Somehow missed this.
Dan, here is Europe and a completely different approach. Quite a lot of those Jewes did not consider German themselves nor Germans considered them either. The same in regard of Poles and other nations living in German empire. You would not call Gabby Gabreski a pilot of Russian descent, although I presume that is what is filed in documents of his parents.
