Maurice Rose?

I've read the same book, fascinating person who would make an excellent subject for a biographical flick. I'd suggest it to Steven Spielberg, but he would probably want to arm the General with a light saber instead of an M-1911 or an M-1 carbine.

The General identified with being a WASP in order to move up in the ranks, just like millions of my fellow Jews have done ever since they were in the diaspora.

I don't think the "Protestant" dogtags were because of anti-Semitism in the US Army; I'm pretty sure most of the soldiers in the 3rd AD and his peers and superiors knew he was Jewish. The "Protestant" on his dogtags was more likely to protect him and ensure his safety and rights as a Prisoner of War in case of capture by the Nazis. Nobody is sure if he was reaching for his pistol belt to drop it, or to draw his weapon and intentionally go down fighting, fearing capture despite the "Protestant" dogtags, when he was killed. He was the last American general officer killed in action in the European Theater.

In the book Death Traps, Belton Y. Cooper, an Ordnance officer in the 3rd AD, tells an apocryphal story of a conversation between Rose and General George S. Patton, where Patton repeats his often quoted wish to be killed by the last bullet of the last battle of the war, and Rose tells him, "You'll probably get your wish. With my luck, I'll probably just break my neck in a car accident!" Again, it's apocryphal and too cutesy for me personally to believe, but worth quoting in this thread.
