Seyferth, Seifert etc a jewish name???
editHow come a nazi criminal carries this name, did this ethymology escape the nazis attention as to being jewish in origin?

for example. My last name is Seyferth, and my grandfather also served in the wehrmacht during World war 2, he did marry my jewish grandmother after the war and I do not recollect any mention being made ever of the Seyferth name being remotely jewish in origin.
