Jewish War Heroes of the British Armed Forces (Part 1)

This 30 minute film was commissioned out of respect for the tremendous numbers of British Jews
who fought and fell for King and Country.

Our story begins with battles against the French in 1759, followed by Trafalgar and Waterloo.
55,000 British Jews fought in World War 1. We recount their courage with rarely seen
archive film. In World War 2, British Jews fought in disproportionate numbers to their small population: 60,000 of the country's 360,000 Jewish citizens. That's one sixth of all British Jews.

This film captures the living testimonies of ex-servicemen and women.

These extraordinary people undertook audacious missions whether on the front lines, flying hazardous bombing runs, dodging U-boats or behind enemy lines. Many gave their lives for British values.

Our production shows the atrocities of the Holocaust and the British liberation of Belsen-Bergen Death Camp.

After the war, British Jews returning from duty were appalled to see Moseley's blackshirts in Britain; and it was British Jews who campaigned to end the threat of fascism once and for all.

During National Service and as regular officers, British Jews have fought and fallen alongside their British countrymen: from Cyprus and Korea to the Falklands, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Iraq.

l´m czech - many of jews were in second world war in czechoslovac army in USSR, also in UK. Many of them were heroes - for instance the family of Kurt Lanzer. His Father, his Brother were killed in the battle (masacre) of Sokolovo. He was only 16 and he wanted be a soldier and he became one. Great man.

palestinians were fighting with Hitler and solute him...so they lost the war

No actual figures given in this documentary , like out of a population of 250,000 jews of which 80 , ooo were eligible to serve then this amount served ! - because lots of Jews like Jack Straw father played the old " consciencous objector " Card to get them out of serving

[SolidTube911]

So this prooves that jews have been involved in some of the most brutal wars involving invasion and mass murder of another nation through out the world...yeh u jews certainly do have your reputation.

Typical jewish propagand and you think we give a fuck that a handful of jews gave there lives for our country a country they will never really be apart of. Shit indians, africans, pakis, irish, asians and a whole shitload of others fought for the British but I don't really care.

[brokenbythebritish]

Oh, so the Jews fought against the Afrikaner in the Anglo Boer War: in other words, they helped terrorise women, children, disabled and elderly Afrikaners in CONCENTRATION CAMPS where 34.5% of Boer inmates were starved to death... JEWS DESERVED the CAMPS OF HITLER!!! HAIL HITLER!!! Jews were happy about the camps of the Afrikaner, so they should also be HAPPY about the NAZI camps... that would be fair, isn't it?

[BritishLad87]

During the British Empire, Britain did not need 2 fight it's own war's no more, they got other country's 2 fight for them.

[BritishLad87]

I'm a British Protestant, and i don't know what all the complaining is about lol, every body fought for us British & thats a fact.

[EkaterinaRukovskaya]

We Jews come to contribute to the people of this world. We settled around the world from America to China. We keep our religion to ourselves and fought for the country we settled in.

[shawry86]
