Photos of religious life ...

#1

Post by Rivet » 15 Mar 2013, 03:54

I am curious if anyone has photographs of religious life in the Third Reich and occupied territories that they'd like to share. Any would be good, such as pictures of religious services, people going too and from worship, houses of worship, pics of clergy, etc.

Thanks much. :)

Not sure if this will be of any help but I'll let you decide.

The Shadow Of His Wings by Fr. Gereon Goldmann, OFM
Astonishing story of the harrowing experiences of a young German seminarian drafted into Hitler's SS at the onset of World War II. Without betraying his Christian ideals against all odds, and in the face of Evil, Gerion Goldmann was able
to complete his priestly training, be ordained, and secretly minister to German Catholic Soldiers and innocent civilian
victims caught up in the horrors of war.
Book contains some photos but one of interest.

After a period of maneuvers in early 1940, Heinrich Himmler visited the men at Camp Earthworm. Struck by
the courage of the seminarians, who refused to comprise their ideals of faith, Himmler gave them persmission
to carry out their religious duties without interference from the hostile anti-Christian officers of the SS

Wow! I am glad the Nazis were church-goers! Imagine how much worse they could have been without the moderating influence of the church! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
