Bryan Mark Rigg

Rigg is the author of several books on World War II history, including Hitler's Jewish Soldiers: The Untold Story of Nazi Racial Laws and Men of Jewish Descent in the German Military and The Rabbi Saved by Hitler's Soldiers: Rebbe Joseph Isaac Schneersohn and His Astonishing Rescue.Born and reared as a Baptist,[1] Rigg studied at Phillips Exeter Academy, graduating in 1991,[2] then attended Yale University and received his B.A.[4][5] In the summer of 1994 he went to Germany, and met Peter Millies, an elderly man who helped Rigg understand the German in a movie they were watching, Europa Europa, about Shlomo Perl, a full Jew who "hid in plain sight" in the Nazi army, posing as a Volksdeutsche orphan named Josef Peters.[15] Yale professor, Dr Henry Turner said that Rigg was not really an intellectual or Historian and not cut out for academia and refused to recommend him for graduate studies.[21] Despite Woody Williams' attempts to block the publication of Bryan Mark Rigg's book Flamethrower: Iwo Jima Medal of Honor Recipient and U.S. Marine Woody Williams and His Controversial Award, Japan's Holocaust and the Pacific War, a federal judge in West Virginia ultimately ruled in favor of Rigg, affirming the book's right to publication under the First Amendment.
