8 0

Desmond Doss, a World War II medic of the 77th Army Division, served at Hacksaw Ridge on Okinawa, a small island off the coast of Japan. The first conscientious objector to win the Medal of Honor, Doss had a strong faith in God and reverence for the Bible as well as the Ten Commandments. While he didn’t carry a gun into battle, Doss was never unarmed. He carried with him his Bible and his undying faith.

Doss believed he should preserve life rather than take life based upon his personal application of the Sixth Commandment, therefore he chose not to carry a gun in combat. Because of his belief in the Sabbath and his desire to worship God, Doss did not work on the seventh day of the week—Saturday (Exodus 20:8-11). However, he picked up extra duties and worked long hours the rest of the week to make up for it.

Answer:

I hope this helps, since I am literally a young WWII historian! LOL :)

Explanation:

Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany were similar in that both were dictatorships. Both Mussolini and Hitler came to power through legal means and believed that people were divided into either inferior or superior races. For example, Hitler was obsessed with the Aryan race and called for the genocide of Jews during WWII.
