Churchman who defy Hitler
Victor Von Galen of Germany (Catholic Bishop)

His friends chuckle as they7 recall the quick witted rebuke he once administered to a uniformed Nazi as he was preaching in his cathedral against State interference with the family, youth and education.

Striking the pulpit a great blow, the Bishop retorted instantly:
“Never will I tolerate in this cathedral any reflection on our beloved Fuehrer!”
