Used Book in Good Condition
There's an excellent book about this: "A Conspiracy Of Decency: The Rescue Of The Danish Jews During World War II." Another amazing piece of this history is the following:
>More than 450 Jews were captured by the Germans and sent to Theresienstadt (the so-called "show place" concentration camp in Czechoslovakia); they were exempted from extermination as a result of tireless Danish lobbying.
There's a couple issues with your premise. First, if you're including minorities and "criminals," the number is higher. The U.S. Holocaust Museum estimates 17 million people were killed in the Holocaust: 6 million Jews, but also Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, Serbs, Slovenes, Romani, people with disabilities, homosexuals, political opponents, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roman Catholics, Freemasons, and criminals.
But your question specifically dealt with Jews, so let's rule out minorities and "criminals" and just stick with 6 million Jews.
This is the second issue with your premise: Of those 6 million Jews, only about 160,000 to 180,000 were German Jews. The Germans also killed Jews from Poland -- about 3 million Polish Jews, in fact. They also killed Jews in the countries they occupied -- France, Belgium, Holland, Greece, and Norway. (Almost all the Jews of Denmark were saved.) Jews in German-occupied Italy were rounded up after Italy surrendered to the Allies in 1943.
They also killed Jews in Nazi-allied countries like Hungary and Bulgaria who are presumably eligible for "recruitment."
So the vast majority of Jews murdered by the Germans were not in fact subject to recruitment, they were enemies of the Germans. It's true that some people in occupied countries joined the Germans, but a very small percentage... certainly less than 33 percent of the total population.
TL;DR - No, you're not adding 2 million more soldiers.
However, you can make an interesting argument about how the Manhattan Project fares without all the refugee scientists from Europe...
