OFFICIAL GERMAN GOVERNMENT POLICY

"The German Government, which regards Christianity as the unshakeable foundation of the ethical life of the German nation, attaches the greatest importance to the maintenance and development of friendly relations with the Holy See."

"The national government regards the two Christian confessions as the most important factors of the maintenance of our ethical personality." / "The Party as such advocates a positive Christianity without binding itself to any particular church." 24th Point, Government’s Program. / "The Government will adopt a just and objective attitude towards all other religions."

ADOLF HITLER

"In this hour I pray that the Almighty will give His blessing in the years to come to our labours, to our judgement and to our strength of resolution, that He may guard us from all false pride as from all cowardly submission, that He will let us find the right path, which He in his Providence has allotted to the German people, and that He gives us always the courage to do right and never to waver or weaken before any force or danger."

- Adolf Hitler. 5th Anniversary of the National Socialist Government

RUDOLF HESS, DEPUTY FÜHRER

"He countered atheistic blasphemy with the idea of an Almighty Being."

"Was it an accident that Hitler came? I do not think so. I believe that a Providence watches over the nations and that when a task is to be fulfilled in the world, this Providence sends the right man at the right time to fulfil and thus save the nation from downfall."

"No National Socialist shall be allowed to suffer because he does not subscribe to a certain religion or because he ascribes to no religion at all. Belief is a matter for each one to resolve in the light of his own conscience. Compulsion must not be exercised."

"National Socialism would have every German decide for himself on spiritual questions, just as in the days of Frederick the Great. The National Socialist state gives to the church what belongs to the church, and to the state what belongs to the state."

OFFICIAL GERMAN CHURCH STANCE

"The Protestant world is still under German leadership. There is no foundation for the fear, voiced abroad, that Germany will forsake the Protestant world."

"The Protestant may remain Protestant and the Catholic Catholic, and he who is neither and nevertheless owns Christ, may also remain what he is."

"Adolf Hitler gave us back our faith. He showed us the true meaning of religion. He has come to renew for us the faith of our fathers and to make us new and better beings.... just as Jesus Christ made his twelve apostles into a faithful band to the martyr’s death whose faith shook the Roman Empire, so now we witness the same spectacle again. Adolf Hitler is the true Holy Ghost."

- Hanns Kerrl. German Minister for German Affairs

"I believe in the Holy German people inside and outside the German frontiers. I believe in Adolf Hitler, who by the grace of God was sent to give the German people faith in themselves once more." - The German Faith Movement

TYPICAL PRONOUNCEMENTS BY ADOLF HITLER

"We wish to fill our culture once more with the spirit of Christianity - but not only in theory." / "And so I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator. In standing guard against the Jew I am defending the handiwork of the Lord." Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, p.46.

"To a political leader the religious teachings and practices of his people should be sacred and inviolable. Otherwise he should not be a statesman but a reformer, if he has the necessary qualifications for such a mission. Any other line of conduct will lead to disaster, especially in Germany." Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf. p.75.

"It is a tragedy of the Germanic world that Jesus was judaised, distorted, falsified; and an alien Asiatic spirit was forced upon us. That is a crime we must repair." / "In this hour I would ask of the Lord God only this: that, as in the past, so in the years to come He would give His blessing to our work and our action, to our judgement and our resolution, that He will safeguard us from all false pride and from all cowardly servility, that He may grant to us to find the straight path which His Providence has ordained for the German people, and that He may ever give us the courage to do the right, never to falter, never to yield before any violence, before any danger."

"When folk have set before them a true purpose and then pursue it unmoved with bravery and courage, when they withstand with a strong heart every trial which Heaven sends upon them, then one day at the last Almighty Providence will yet grant them the fruits of their struggle and of their sacrifices. For God has never abandoned any man upon this earth unless he has first abandoned himself."

"If Providence had not guided us I would often never have found these dizzy paths. Thus it is that we National Socialists have in the depths of our hearts our faith. No man can fashion world history or the history of peoples unless upon his purpose and his powers there rests the blessing of this Providence."

"I believe that this was God’s Will - to send a boy into the Reich, to let him become its Leader, in order to bring his home country into the Reich. Otherwise one must doubt Providence." / "Our task is to harness the God-given energy of this German nation to stand firm for the Truth."

"Help thyself, then thou wilt also have the help of the Almighty"

TYPICAL OPINIONS VOICED BY FOREIGNERS

DAVID LLOYD GEORGE:
"Catholic and Protestant, Prussian and Bavarian, employer and workman, rich and poor, have been consolidated into one people. Religious, provincial and class origins no longer divide the nation. There is a passion for unity born of dire necessity.

"The tolerance shown towards the agnostic and anti-Christian confessions is also extended to Jewish religious activities in Germany. I have already attempted to make it quite clear that the special treatment meted out to Jews in Germany is inspired solely by racial and not be religious motives. The Jews enjoy full liberty in the exercise of the ritual." - - Cesare Santoro. Hitler Germany Seen by a Foreigner

"At last the German Christians feel that the Almighty has done something. If only the immense spiritual forces in the new Germany can be harnessed in the service of Christianity the new mission of which the Germans are profoundly conscious will be a Christian one." / "This is what I learned from my Jewish friends, who are staying in Germany and have no intention of leaving the country, nor have they ever been asked to leave the country. Those who wish to leave and return may do so at their own pleasure. The law relating to the freedom of Jews are substantially the same as those of other people." - H. Powys-Greenwood. Hitler’s First Year

"As far as I am aware there is not a single incident in which the so-called anti-Christian Nazis murdered a single priest." - Dr. Austin J. App. Historian. University of Philadelphia. Historian.

JEWISH OPINION OF RELIGION IN THE THIRD REICH:

".... in that the Third Reich treated Christianised Jews preferentially. The National Socialist Third Reich carefully distinguished between Talmudic and Christianised Jews." - Philip Freedman, ‘Their Brothers Keepers’ N.Y 1957.

AMERICAN DOUBLE STANDARDS

"The United States took exception to a German law on March, 30th, 1938, which removed the Jewish church from the established German church roll which deprived it of state funds. In fact, this brought German law into line with English Law." - Daniel L. Hoggan. Historical Revisionist.

TYPICAL LAST WILL AND TESTAMENTS

JOSEPH GOEBBELS: "Do not let yourself be confused by the uproar that will now reign throughout the world. The lies will one day break down under their own weight and the truth will again triumph. The hour will come when we shall stand pure and undefiled as our aims and beliefs have always been." Joseph Goebbels last letter to his stepson.

MAGDA GOEBBELS: "Therefore, I have also brought the children here with me. They are too precious for the life that will come after us; a merciful God will understand me when I myself help them to a merciful deliverance." Madga Goebbels final letter to her son.

RUDOLF HESS: "Whatever the verdict of this court I shall be held innocent before the Judgement Seat of Christ."

ALFRED ROSENBERG: "Crimes against Christianity? Did you ever pay any attention to the Russian crimes against Christianity? The Russians have the nerve to sit in judgement, with thirty million lives on their conscience? Why! They are the world’s experts. They killed priests by the thousands during their revolution."

FIELD MARSHAL KEITEL: "I call on the Almighty. May He have mercy on the German people and show them tenderness."

"National Socialism is essentially a religious movement and faith. The Germanic or Aryan world of ideas, both political and religious will go out as a sacred Gospel to heal mankind." - Adolf Hitler, Last Will and Testament

Here’s freedom to him who would speak
Here’s freedom to him who would write,
For there’s none ever feared that the truth should be heard,
Except he who the truth would indict.
