Biographical/Historical Information

Outwardly, the Nazi state leadership tried to align themselves with "positive Christianity". The true attitude became clear in the Protestant church struggle of 1933-1935, which ended with the "Confessing Church" (or Bekennende Kirche) asserting itself against the "German Christians", a faction of the pro-Nazi German Evangelical Church. For the Catholic Church in Germany, the Concordat with the Papal See (July 20, 1933) initially led to a calmer time. After 1935, instances of defamation, harassment and threats took place. Until 1945, thousands of indomitable clergymen of the two great denominations and of small religious communities were sent to concentration camps. Significantly, the smear campaign worked in southern Germany with alleged transgressions of northern German Christians - and vice versa.
