By and by, what I have meant by all of this, is that I think, personally, the Buddha would have indeed approved of the actions of those brave men, those soldiers in WW2, because it is a people on a whole, for no other reason, other then being them, not bad, not evil, simply common folk living day by day, being slaughtered for no reason at all other then their genetics/ethnicity.

The only logical conclusion to genocide when there is either fight, or be killed, is to fight. And to say otherwise, is to choose your death, the death of your loved ones, and possibly even the death of Buddhism, should that have been attacked instead of Jews.

The precept of no killing was meant for the every day life, and had nothing to do with defending an entire people against needless slaughter.
