Not a question of what I would do, but what I SHOULD and would be EXPECTED to do by the teachings of Christ.

He was crazy and the churches supported him and blessed his troops as they went to war and the majority of those troops claimed to be Christians. Both sides did this and both sides committed atrocities. Both sides said kill your Christian brother. If they hadn't, Hitler would have had very few to support him OR we would have seen who were truly Christiana s they would not have gone to war. Ditto on the "allies" side.

What did Jesus say about such actions?

KJV Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

How many times did so-called Christians kill Jesus in WWII?

There is a vast difference between being a Christian and just claiming to be one.

Wasn't Jesus our prime example? He didn't fight back-- the apostles didn't fight back--the followers who were thrown to hungry wild animals didn't fight back---Return evil for evil to no one.- vengeance is mine said the Lord. Those with real faith, rely on that.

No he was an insane mass murderer who mislead young Christian men to murder for him while their spiritual teachers watched it occur. Then had the absolute gaul to pray on both sides of a war of hatred to the same God--if that isn't one of the biggest hipocrosys ever seen on this earth, I just don't know. It proves with 0 doubt--they do not know Jesus.

Christians didn't' kill Jesus in WWII, Jesus was killed by Rome centuries before. In war, it's kill or be killed.

If you are talking about being a conscientious objector then we would be speaking German today and Nazis would be our official government overlords.

Hitler wanted to rule the world. There is nothing wrong in defending oneself from that.

Wonder what would happen if ONE side (or both) just laid down their weapons and started singing or drinking and maybe a bit of dance?

How long would war last then?

If everyone on Earth listened to Jesus' words of Matthew 26:52; Revelation 13:10, then how long will war last ?
