[edit] Hungarians and others

I believe that the Hungarians were granted Honorary Aryan status en masse, but I'm not sure of this and lack citation. It was almost certainly extended to Mussolini, Tojo, and Hirohito; again, I lack citation. I know that it was a running joke in the United States to refer to the Japanese collectively as Honorary Aryans; I don't know if the Nazis ever actually granted them that status. A good citation one way or the other would be in order.

It would also be interesting to have a list of ethnically Jewish people who accepted Honorary Aryan status; I just know of these two famous stories of it being turned down. -- Jmabel | Talk 10:08, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Hitler's Jewish Soldiers: The Untold Story of Nazi Racial Laws and Men of Jewish Descent in the German Military (paperback ISBN 0700613587, cloth ISBN 0700611789) by Bryan Mark Rigg is a good source on this topic. The term was also used, by Hitler, to describe the Japanese. —Morning star 15:34, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
