Professor Scholder's book is a major contribution to our
understanding of Christianity under the Nazi regime, in some ways
going beyond his definitive history of the German churches under
the Third Reich. The volume paints a vivid picture of the problems
of living under any kind of totalitarian regime, with a wealth of
detailed evidence and insightful judgments. A few illustrations
from the book: * After the news of Adolf Hitler's death, Cardinal
Bertram of Breslau, the senior German prelate, drafted an order for
a requiem mass to be said for Hitler throughout his churches. *
Under the Hitler regime any resistance in both Protestant and
Catholic churches came largely from individuals; officially the
churches were interested above all in maintaining their status quo.
* When Germany entered the Spanish Civil War, Hitler offered the
churches support if they would join his battle against Bolshevism.
Students, historians, and the general reader will be captivated by
Scholder's perceptive and challenging interpretations of the
churches in Western Europe prior to and during the Second World War
which still have relevance for us today.
