The chapter discusses figures like Isaac Rosenberg and Siegfried Sassoon, Jewish soldiers who made notable contributions. It also examines the 1916 Judenzählung, a census conducted in Germany to count Jewish soldiers and counter false claims about their non-participation, although the results were manipulated for antisemitic purposes.
