In WWII, the Nazis forced JWs to wear a purple triangle (just as Jews had to wear yellow stars of David). Many JWs were killed or sent to work camps because they refused to heil Hitler. I’m not a JW (and never have been), but they showed remarkable strength of belief and character in not bowing before Hitler.

You are right. They were demonized, persecuted and executed just as much as the Jews were...Maybe not in the same numbers but definitely they were rounded up for execution.
