Or non-Germans?

I don't think so, though I don't think I've ever seen the possibility addressed. I know there were Jewish Capos, the guys who were in charge of the barracks where the Holocaust victims slept. They did it to stay alive as long as possible. At first it sounds despicable, but it was a means of survival. Hitler hated Jews. He wouldn't have trusted them with anything of any importance.

Other than Hitler himself there were 10s of not 100s of thousands of soldiers that were jewish or part jewish. If you are doing a report or if you are just plain curious there was actually a book wrote on this very subject. I had do do a report on it in high school AP English. The name of the book plain and simple " Hitlers Jewish Soldiers" wrote by Bryan Mark Rigg it is extremely interesting even for people like me who hate reading.
Hope this helps.

Very, VERY probable. In fact, I am giving you a link to an article written about a book on that very issue.
Please not, though, that the men talked about were KNOWN to be of Jewish descent. However, among the upper eschelons, and Hitlers "elite" the chances of any ancestry other than German was very, VERY slim....

As per the orthodox Jewish definition of who is a Jew, a person has to be born from, at least, a Jewish mother. Regardless of what belief Hitler followed; Catholicism, atheism, etc., it is known that his mother was Jewish. Therefore, as per the definition, he is a Jew.

It is almost impossible. It would be too dangerous, also a jew would never have been in the Nazi training school. There maybe mixed people who did not know that a relative, grand parent, might have been Jewish.

100% if you count the kapos in the concentration camps. Also many Germans had some "ethnic Jewish" ancestry that they may not have been aware of.

Hitler himself was half Jewish, the hatered of his father is what drove him to maddness and was the source of all which happened during his life.

It happened. Think of how far you would go to save the lives of your family. The idea of covering your true feelings to ensure that your child would not die some horrible death. Even Abraham defied God when asked to kill his own son.
