I don't recall the Germans in prewar Germany having an enumerated Bill of Rights.

Under the Constitution of the Wiemar Republic, they did. And those were mostly based on rights provided for in the earlier Constitution of 1848.

They had most of the same rights, in slightly different form, as guaranteed by our own Bill of Rights.

Except the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Thanks for the information El Gato. I'll have to study this further.

On the face of it, perhaps the Right to Keep and Bear Arms will be the one enumerated right that prevents history from repeating itself.
