What a tragedy, she should have never carried on with the mission after the commanders called it off. There could have been other opportunities to fight especially if she was with the heroic Partizans. Also worth mentioning are People's Heroes of Yugoslavia Robert Domany (Sephardic Jew) and Drago Stejnberger (Ashkenazi Jew) who were early recruiters and commanders of the Yugoslav Partizans who were captured and killed in 42 or 43.

Where did Hitler get records about the Jewish ancestry of individuals? Was it the church?

What a shame there is no mention of Jewish antisemitism in these lectures.
