Article (see link below) tells the extraordinary story about the Catholic conversion of Oswald Pohl in 1950 and the 75 page pamphlet that he wrote titled "Credo: My Path to God". The pamphlet is little known and historians have not used it for reasons which the author explains. A fascinating document and one which shows Pohl in a more human light, written by himself (with some help from the Catholic chaplain who oversaw his conversion). Pohl expresses his feelings, his thoughts, and religious attitudes.

Thank you Mr Duncan, really really very interesting!
Re: Oswald Pohl : A Spiritual Transformation
You are welcome! Despite his lack of a "confession", his genuine contrition did not save him from the noose.
Pohl was hanged on yesterday's date ..(June 7, 1951), 59 years ago, along with Paul Blobel, Otto Ohlendorf, and Erich Naumann, the so-called "Red Jackets" of the Einsatzgruppen.
