Theologians Under Hitler

Recently, I became aware of a new DVD which looks to be extremely interesting and valuable. You will find a description below. My local librarian is telling me the book of the same title is widely available at libraries throughout the United States. Otherwise, a web search should bring up ways you can order the book and video.

This is clearly an essentially unknown part of history. It is pertinent for these days. My own research has shown that successors to the financial empires which helped finance Hitler still exist and that they have worked to subvert the American democracy. News of this nature may be shocking and unbelievable to some. Nevertheless, this is what the evidence points to. I plan to show some of this evidence at the appropriate time and in the appropriate way in days to come.

In the meantime, I hope the following resource will prove useful.

A 64-minute film by Steven D. Martin (DVD format)
Product Detail:
In the days after World War II, a convenient story was told of church leaders and ordinary Christians that defied the Nazis from the beginning. Recent research has uncovered a very different story. Rather than resisting, the greater part of the German church saw Hitler's rise in 1933 as an act of God's blessing, a new chapter in the story of God among the German people. This film, based upon groundbreaking research, introduces the viewer to three of the greatest Christian scholars of the twentieth century: Paul Althaus, Emanuel Hirsch, and Gerhard Kittel, men who were also outspoken supporters of Hitler and the Nazi party. In 1933 Althaus spoke of Hitler's rise as "a gift and miracle of God." Hirsch saw 1933 as a "sunrise of divine goodness." And Kittel, the editor of the standard reference work on the Jewish background of the New Testament, began working for the Nazis to find a "moral" rationale for the destruction of European Jewry. This provocative film asks: how? It also forces us to ask “Can it happen again?”
