During the Second World War, approximately 1000 Christian chaplains
accompanied Wehrmacht forces wherever they went, from Poland to
France, Greece, North Africa, and the Soviet Union. Chaplains were
witnesses to atrocity and by their presence helped normalize
extreme violence and legitimate its perpetrators. Military
chaplains played a key role in propagating a narrative of
righteousness that erased Germany's victims and transformed the
aggressors into noble figures who suffered but triumphed over their
foes. Between God and Hitler is the first book to examine
Protestant and Catholic military chaplains in Germany from Hitler's
rise to power, to defeat, collapse, and Allied occupation. Drawing
on a wide array of sources – chaplains' letters and memoirs,
military reports, Jewish testimonies, photographs, and popular
culture – this book offers insight into how Christian clergy
served the cause of genocide, sometimes eagerly, sometimes
reluctantly, even unknowingly, but always loyally.
