they thought about themselves as 1st Germans and then Jews but when Germans made them aware that they were not Germans they stopped been Germans It was the Anti-Semitism that made them change their minds. They would have probably remained happy Nazi subjects if it had not been for that. I speak "generically" when I say that about German Jews, no one can say for certain what individual ones would have done. But remember, many German Intellectuals were among Hitler's best supporters. And when it came to war with France, I have no doubt that even the most avid Hitler-haters among the German Jews had a sneaking admiration for the German Army and it's triumph over the French Army. Nationalism is a strong emotional pull, and it was ingrained in them from childhood. But of course, a lot of this is speculation about "what ifs," and no definitive answer is possible.
