How so?
I just do not understand why you believe defenseless civilians had no less/no more of a chance against the SS crew than if they had firearms.

Im guessing this is a typo and you mean "they wouldn't have?"
And no, I dont think that would have been the case since the gun registry in WW2 Germany was implemented so this never had to happen.
In this case the variable of gun control was never an issue. The plan of the genocide was contingent on the gun control laws.
And no, I dont think the Germans would have gone door to door with tanks. Those tanks were too busy with the war outside of Germany. And the SS crew wasnt privy to such luxuries as "bigger guns" since all they needed was a luger and a thumbing gesture towards the back of a truck. That is if you were lucky enough to not get shot on spot.

To a degree, yes where and when bothers me. However gun control implemented by U.S. gov't in a nation ran over has little to do with WW2 Germany, which is where gun control originated.
The underlying motive behind the invention of gun control is what bothers me.
