Jackk,
Of course the key during WWII was to stop viewing it as a Jew and view it as a German. Because thinking like doesn’t mean you agree. During the 1930’s hundreds of thousands of German Jews came to America. During the war they were invaluable to the US Intelligence Services. Growing up in Germany (most not Frum) they attended German schools and Universities, knew German slang, read German newspapers and watched German movies. In other words they knew how to “Think like” a German. They provided a ton of Intel to the Allies.
Look up Fred Meyer a German Jew who came to America in 1938. During WWII he parachuted into Nazi Germany were he posed as a Nazi Officer. He lived in a rest home for German officers where at night at the bar he would listen and take mental notes. Later he would write the Intel down and pass it to another German Jew living in the loft of a barn with a radio where he would forward the Intel to HQ. He found out where Hitler’s bunker was, posing as a Nazi officer got the trainmaster to tell him about a large shipment of weapons which the Allies bombed (saving thousands of lives). And convinced the head Nazi in Tyrol to surrender (again saving thousands of lives and shortening the war saving Jews ascwell). How was this great Jewish and American hero able to pull of the impossible? Because he knew how to “Think” like a Nazi.
That’s the scary part about America today. Putin has always been playing chess while Biden is just getting ready to play a game of tic-tac-toe!
