if a muslim was in germany during ww2 do you think they would have gone to a concentration camps?

Answer 1

Surprisingly, no!

Hitler had quite a few races and religions he tried to get on his side. Indians, Muslims, Catholics, most other Europeans, some Russians and of course, the Japanese.

There was a full Bosnian Muslim division of the Waffen-SS, and many Indian Muslims serving in the Tiger Legion.

Answer 2

Many Muslims served in the German SS Formations against the Russians during World War Two. During the Second World War Anwar Sadat was imprisoned by the British for his efforts to obtain help from the Axis Powers in expelling the occupying British forces. Following the war many Nazis escaped to the Middle East to serve as advisers to the Arab nations opposing the formation of a Jewish state.

The Nazis were not opposed to Non-Aryans to serving their efforts

Answer 3

That is so strange that you asked that. I just came home from a Muslim country today and have been reading a novel set during ww2 and i thought this exact question as my mind wandered.

Answer 4

No, the Germans where trying to get Turkey to join the war on their side. They where trying to get pro-independence movements in the Middle East to join with them to attack the allies.

They even had an all Muslim SS division formed from Bosnian Muslims.

Answer 5

The holocaust wasn`t about religion it was about ethnicity .Hitler wanted a pure Aryan race .a person of any religion could be sent to a concentration camp Christian and Muslim Gypsies were all classified as hereditary disease carriers because although they were Aryan they didn`t fit in with his idea of blonde haired blue eyed Aryans so he decided they were contaminated and not fit to live

Answer 6

In Nazi Germany a Palestinian Muslim named Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini visited Adolph Hitler in Nazi Germany and because of their common goal of the eradication of the Jews cooperated with each other in the commission of genocide.

While in Baghdad, Syria al-Husseini aided the pro-Nazi revolt of 1941. He then spent the rest of World War II as Hitler's special guest in Berlin, advocating the extermination of Jews in radio broadcasts back to the Middle East and recruiting Balkan Muslims for infamous SS "mountain divisions" that tried to wipe out Jewish communities throughout the region.

In 1945 immediately after the fall of Nazi Germany he fled to Egypt and upon the reinstallation of the Jewish Nation of Israel directly sponsored the war on Israel in what can only be described as a continuation of Adolph Hitler’s war against the Jews by one of his lackeys who happens to be an Arab Muslim!

Answer 7

There were several muslim units serving in the German army, most of them were made up of Indian renegades.

Answer 8

I know of one who didn't. His name was Michel Aflouk. He was tutored by Heinrich Himmler and his staff, returned to Syria and became the "father" of the "Ba'ath" (Resurrection) political movement which also brought Saddam Hussein to power in Iraq.
