Attempts by the president of the National Statistical Office in Berlin to throw doubts on the validity of records on the number of German Jews who fell in the World War are denounced in a letter by a wounded German Jewish war veteran, published in the Manchester Guardian.
The letter points out that 12,000 German Jews, or about two per cent of the total Jewish population of Germany, died for their country during the War.
