Re: Jewish airmen in WWII

The problem is that there is both Jewish religion and Jewish nationality. This may seem a little bit muddy for British with their land law, but quite clear for those accustomed with blood law. Following the land law, only a minority of Polish the few were Poles, the rest of them born in Austro-Hungary, Germany, Russia, even Georgia (then Russia) or USA. Polish top aces would be Russian, like Skalski or Urbanowicz, or a famous test pilot - Żurakowski. Is not it a little bit ridiculous?
Jews had no country of their own, but established it post-war. You just cannot deny their right to existence as a nation. The question remains, how many Jews fought in WWII, how many considered themselves Jewish, and even how many joined IDF.
