   Yes, mischlinge (as you note in the part I snipped below).   
      
   This is based on a article I read some time back in a military history   
   magazine.   
      
   Mischlinge had at least one Jewish Grandparent and at least one Aryan   
   Grandparent.   
      
   Civilian mischlinge were left in place (DOGE is a Trumpian perversian)   
   until there were enough Aryans available to replace them. Then it was   
   off to the camps.   
      
   Military mischlinge were in much the same position; some, however,   
   being effective military officers (as opposed to party hacks, such as   
   Hegseth) were somehow always out in the field when the Gestapo showed   
   up at HQ to arrest them. Armies at war tend to value competence above   
   ideology, and the higher commanders protected those mischlinge that   
   actually knew their job.
