Re: Jewish airmen in WWII

Thanks for the replies.
For the beginning I will explain my issue concerning Jewishness.
I understand a Jew a person being of Jewish nationality/faith. A person of Jewish origin is the one of Jewish roots but does not recognise itself as a Jew anymore.
A sample of the former might be Weizmann, while of the latter - Marseille perhaps?
I know that in the Luftwaffe, at least Simsch had a Mischling status. Others - I do not know but names like Baer, Krakowitzer, Marseille or Suess suggest their 'nicht ganz arisch' origin.
Similarly, names like John C. Meyer, Myron Levy, Levi Chase sound Jewish but did they consider themselves Jewes?
Another question is what was the presence of Jewes in air forces in percents (approximate)? I have seen some articles on the subject but my impression was that the number was usually inflated.
Oh, and what is typical/traditional Jewish name in UK?
