Nice to have you posting Sobeit, make another post and tell us how you got our 50 years ago - it will be most encouraging.
Now, assuming you are in the USA or the UK/AUS/NZ/CANADA then it would be very difficult because you were in a nation that "won" and that had the feeling it was fighting a "righteous" war. My father was in the forces in WW2 before he became a JW and he said he felt he was doing the right thing to defend the nation from and destroy the Nazis. One of my neighbours growing up fought the Japanese in Burma and his hatred was very deep for the enemy.
If your husband was a JW jailed for being a conscientious objector then he would have felt that although he was doing the right thing but everybody else (neighbours, workmates, even siblings or cousins) would have looked down on him as unpatriotic or even a coward or traitor).
Obviously it takes a certain courage to stand up and not go to war and face court, condemnation and prison. But in WW2 - especially in the UK, the nation (plus the empire) was alone against Hitler, facing bombing and U Boats for a year before Russia then America became involved. So other decent people would view you as a traitor.
After the war you might be talking to those who lost or had maimed a brother/son/daughter/sister from enemy action who would take a very dim view of your "cushy" life and survival.
Hope that makes sense, Sobeit.
