The Communists and Socialists were armed, and were waiting to oppose a coup, but there was no occasion for them to mobilize. Even years later, the military was ready to stage a coup -- notably, they approached Lord Chamberlain before Munich to tell him to stand firm, and planned a coup to avoid a war with Czechoslovakia, but Chamberlain had other ideas.

But that wasn't to save the jews. It was because they wanted to be the ones in power and they disagreed with the war.

The German people and many in eastern Europe at the time of WWII were very anti-semetic. There are many people in that part of the world who couldn't have cared less that the jews were being killed and were happy to take all their stuff when they were shipped off on those trains. Regular people. Their neighbors and business associates.
You are uniformed if you think that the anti-semitism of that region of the world wasn't wide spread in the citizenry. It didn't go away after the war, either. The mass exodus of jews from europe to the US and what was to be Israel was because of the wide spread anti-semitism.
You need to read a book on the birth of Israel written by those who lived in Europe at that time.
Let me guess. Next you will tell me all those Russian jews immigrating to Israel to escape anti-semitism are just being cry babies.
