This is an interesting one, because this actually is more of an argument for 2A then you think. For one the Germans didn't turn against what they saw as their fellow citizens, they turned against a minority...and had that minority been armed...well I doubt it would have been as easy as the gestapo raiding houses in the night and putting them on a train to a camp.

You mean the same German army that it took multiple nations to defeat were going to be stopped by a minority of the population with guns? Again the Germans had tanks, WMDs, bombs, and planes.

At least a few gestapo would have gotten some rounds in the chest for their trouble.

Or they would have used the bigger weapons they already had. A government with more resources can always quash the little guy.

If anything, much like the LA riots when the police derelict of duty, chose to not protect the Korean neighborhoods...

And the Koreans or any of your other examples were going up against a government backed force with access to for all intents and purposes unlimited resources.
