Emil Maurice
Emil Maurice (German pronunciation: [ˈeːmiːl moˈʁiːs]; 19 January 1897 – 6 February 1972) was a German Nazi official and a founding member of the Schutzstaffel (SS). He was Adolf Hitler's first personal chauffeur, and one of only a few people of mixed Jewish and ethnic German ancestry to serve in the SS. Maurice had no Jewish parents or grandparents, and was thus considered a German and not classified as Jewish or Mischling under the Nuremberg Laws; nonetheless, one of his great-grandfathers (1805–1896) was Jewish, and the more racially stringent SS required officers to prove Aryan ancestry back to 1750.
