Field Marshal Erhard Milch was not Jewish. From David Irving's biography of Field Marshal Erhard Milch, Göring's deputy, architect of the German air force and founder of Lufthansa: "An investigation was immediately carried out. The unwholesome truth the authorities shortly uncovered was the cruellest blow that any man could have expected. In one sense there was a relief, for Milch’s father was unquestionably Aryan; but that was not all, for he was not Anton Milch, and he was not a man whom the Church would ever have accepted as Klara Vetter’s husband. So awful were the implications that Erhard Milch knew that this one fact about his parentage could never be revealed. He concealed it from the author, and when the truth nevertheless emerged from the family papers he asked that the confidence should be respected about his father’s identity. All his life Milch had longed for a father. Anton Milch, he had scarcely known. Now the tragedy was complete, for at nearly forty years of age he had identified his real father, a man he had known and admired like no other as a boy, but a man already dead for a quarter of a century." p.371
