Table of content

Key Topics

  • Nazi attempts at controlling religious beliefs
  • Reactions of various religious factions
  • Churches' resistance to Nazism

🎨 Heartfield’s Poster Analysis

  • Caption: “The cross was not heavy enough.”
  • Possible message: Nazis saw Christianity as too weak or lenient for their regime.

Nazis and the Church

  • Challenge: Germans were divided by faith.
  • Initial approach: Nazis tried to reassure both the Protestant majority and Catholics.
    • Catholics: Signed the Concordat in 1933 for independence.
    • But by mid-1933: Signs of Nazi interference in religion.

German Christians (Deutsch Christen)

  • Aim: Reconcile Protestantism and Nazism.
    • Create a "Reich Church" to unite all Protestants.
    • Appointed Ludwig Müller as Reich Bishop.
      • Müller's Changes: Abolished elected church bodies and applied Nazi “leadership principle.”
    • Result: Opposition! By September 1933, over 100 pastors started the "Confessional Church."

Confessional Church

  • Led by: Pastor Niemöller
  • Supported by: 7,000 out of 17,000 pastors.
  • Purpose: Uphold pure Protestant beliefs, resist Nazi infiltration.

Real-world example: Think of this like a popular band trying to change their music style. The fans (church members) either embrace the change or revolt and form fan-clubs (Confessional Church) that cherish the old music.
