contends that the Jew is more of a
soldier than he gets credit for. In the
Franco-German war 4,492 Jews were in
the German army and 327 earned the
iron cross, a decoration bestowed only
for bravery in the field. Fifteen Jew
ish officers served under Wellington at
Waterloo. and the duke paid them a
special compliment when Jewish eman-
cipation was proposed in parliament.
