Interesting topic, and the hook is interesting. ALT2 is my attempt to combine them. Article is long enough, well sourced, hook info is sourced in the text, AGF on German language sources. –

ALT2: ... that an estimated 100,000 German Jews served in the
German Army in
World War I, and an estimated 12,000 were killed in action?
I like your suggestion but having estimated in there twice sounds a little wrong. What about:
I looked over the two sources used for the information again and, while the 100,000 are an estimate both are firm on the 12,000 number (as a rounded figure).
