If it took the militaries of the Allies, six years to stop the German armed forces, how long would a bunch of civilians with no military training for the most part to stop them? I mean it’s nice to believe something so simple could have stopped the Nazis but really no civilians were going to prevent the Holocaust. Even if they were armed, one only has to look at what happened to the many armies rolled over by the Nazi war machine.

No, if one wants to look at the futility of such arguments, they need to only look at the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. 13,000 Jews killed and the rest sent off to the camps, while 17 German soldiers were killed.
