effort. The opening of the text sets the stage for a detailed examination of the historical context of Jewish soldiers in the German military, particularly in aviation. The author references previous research on Jewish participation in earlier conflicts, citing both prominent figures and lesser-known soldiers who served valiantly. The text emphasizes the importance of recording these personal narratives to retain the memory of their sacrifices and challenge any notion that Jewish soldiers were less courageous than their non-Jewish counterparts. By doing so, Theilhaber not only honors these Jewish aviators but also addresses the broader societal prejudices and strives to redefine the understanding of Jewish identity during wartime.
