Real wars these days are fought with tanks, laser guided missiles, planes, and perhaps even nuclear weapons. Ordinary soldiers with handguns are only sent in to mop up after all the real damage has been done with more sophisticated weapons.

That wasn't the case in 1938, you know, when this all happened.

Sorry Grasshopper but your Nazi dreams of laser guided missiles killing only Jews are 200 to early.

I agree, but not to some impossible Standard.

So the Nazis didn't have planes and tanks. Interesting.
It was the Nazis who invented the concept of bombing a civilian population into submission. I take it you've heard of Guernica.

Sorry Grasshopper but your Nazi dreams of laser guided missiles killing only Jews are 200 to early. For a government to go after Jews, Communists, trade unionists, and then me, they'd still need to come to my door.
A Glock is as effective deterrent in stopping a man at my door today as it was 200 years ago.

Your argument is based on the premise that the Nazis worried about killing innocent (from their perspective) bystanders. I don't think history is on your side here.
For example when Reinhard Heydrich was assasinated by the Czech resistance the Nazis flattened an entire Czech village as revenge and to deter future assassinations.
