Who wore the Star of David in World War 2 and why?
It's a bit unclear whether or not you're asking who was FORCED to wear the Star of David or who 'wore the Star of David in World War 2'. Well, there's not much information on the subject, but when it came to wearing 'the Star of David' into battle, nothing beat the Jewish members of the United States military including all four branches- Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines. Numerous Jewish Americans, especially those who fought in the European Theater proudly wore the Star of David into warfare against Nazi Germany. For them, it really was personal. I'm assuming the question is about who was forced to wear a special identifying yellow Star of David. The answer is that, starting in 1941 all Jews throughout the Nazi-occupied regions were ordered and, if necessary, forced to display the yellow Star of David patch sewn or stitched upon the left side of their chest. These yellow Star of David emblems were meant to mock, ridicule, isolate and identify all Jews residing in Nazi-controlled regions. It is highly likely that these Jewish identifiers made the mass-murder of millions of Jews far easier and more efficient.
