gamersoh for fucks sake this again <| sep |> I learned some things in that too . So I don ' t think it ' s just you being oblivious . <| sep |> Hence the ' just a matter of degree ' finishing it up . <| sep |> nah , the run was never on and smith called it <| sep |> Not even the military of said countries were able to put up a fight . The same could be said of Vietnam , Afghanistan , and Iraq . Yet the most sophisticated and expensive military in the history of the world was defeated by all three . A few more people with small arms would not have made a lot of difference but only lead to more destruction see Warschau . Anything is better than being carted off like livestock to certain destruction . Non of those would have been available in Europe . If every Jewish person in Germany , Poland , and the Ukraine had the most basic armaments the Holocaust would have been impossible .
