If the first sentence is going to start with such an extreme upper estimate, it should also include a lower limit, whether that is 1,500 (far more likely than 150,000) or 140,000.
And it is extremely unlikely that the Wehrmacht included 150,000 Jews (even under the very broad Nazi definition and including mischlingen).
Under the most notorious ethnic cleansing program in history, hundreds of thousands of military-age German citizens were imprisoned and/or deported to concentration camps in eastern Europe in 1939–45. That would not have occurred if the Wehrmacht was open and able to recruit Jews.
