Of the few that did, do you think they could have successfully mounted a partisan campaign against Germany's armed forces? Do you honestly believe that the same military power that easily conquered Poland and France could have been defeated by a loosely-organized and lightly-armed Jewish militia? Or that Tibetan monks (how many of them own firearms, I wonder) could have posed a serious opposition to the People's Liberation Army? Or that Soviet peasants could have overthrown Stalin?
It makes for a neat movie plot to imagine that the Wolverines can successfully wage a guerrilla war against the Red Army, but you're deluding yourself if you think that is anything close to a viable scenario.
