Here I found a Prussian Jewish general in our Union Army...
Peter Joseph Osterhaus (January 4, 1823 – January 2, 1917) was a German-American Union Army general in the American Civil War and later served as a diplomat.
Osterhaus died in Duisburg and was buried in Koblenz, Germany at the Koblenz Jewish Cemetery. The grave no longer exists.[4]
Snip...
Osterhaus was born in Koblenz, Rhenish Prussia, the son of Eleanora (Kraemer) and Josef Adolf Oisterhusz.[2] He attended the Berlin Military Academy and after serving for some time as a Prussian Army officer and finding himself on the losing side in the Revolutions of 1848, he immigrated to the United States in 1858 and settled in St. Louis, Missouri.
