... do you think you will likely be:

1. A Nazi... reluctant, enthusiastic... does not matter...

...or...

2. An Oskar Schindler type person.

Wolverines.
 
Being a swarthy half-Iranian and looking stereotypically Jewish? I'd probably be dead.

Some questions are impossible to answer - another time another place inhabited by very different people.

If you were in England in WWII would you have thought that the only good German was a dead German? I'm probably the only one here who can actually answer that q as I was there at the time.
 
Oh this should be a fun thread... :mrgreen:
 
 
Neither.

My ass would be over the border to the first country that would accept me..... and I would kill NAZI Germans.

Given the number of each type in 1 and 2 that existed, which do you think would be more likely? You also left a 'none of the above' option.

Not the question.
 
I don't know...

I am pretty low in agreeableness inherently in my personality. And I am pretty low in conscientiousness... so the call to ultimate order of the Nazi regime and German society as a whole would be an immediate turn off.

What would be the determiner was if I thought Germany was incredibly unjustly slighted in WW1.... whether the brainwash was good enough to make me think it was the world targeting Germans for being German...

The reason Schlindler is so notable is because of the rarity of his actions. Who really knows if they could/would be heroic until being put in that position.

The reality is that most people here or anywhere would go along.

I would be out of the country or in a concentration camp.
