A fair number of people seem to be looking at the camera out of the corner of their eye.

Today’s liberals would label him as an extremist.

Not true. His children lived to know that it is possible to resist evil, and worth it, even if death ensues.
Like the fellow in front of the tank in Red China, his example lives on. Of course, others who lived can find themselves in the picture, paying tribute to evil.

I agree. That's an inspirational photo that probably had wide ranging effects we'll never know of. Plus I suspect God rewarded him greatly.

I can see a number of others...that don’t seem to be saluting...Hitler. Maybe not a deviant as August...but nevertheless not saluting.
To: Osage Orange
Apparently I don't know how to spell..or compose a sentence.
Should have read...."Maybe not AS DEFIANT as August........"
To: Dr. Sivana
Dietrich Bonhoeffer is another one of those who resisted despite torture and eventual death. I guarantee that he fared better than Hitler in the long run.

“And soon dead, to no meaningful end.”
It is 76 years later, his bones are now dust, and here YOU are reading all about the life and looking at the photo of a man whom you never knew. You evidently read something here that compelled you to share your thoughts with the world.
I think you just called your own comment meaningless. :-)
To: Osage Orange
Deviant just means deviating from the norm, usually thought of as sexually deviant though. The guy definitely deviated from the norm.
To: ctdonath2
At least he didn’t go to his grave hating himself.
To: DogByte6RER
Immediately made me think of this movie, if anyone hasn't seen it.....get it!!

The bravest man, the finest man, I ever knew was our Roman Catholic chaplain in Germany, a local German priest, who spent the War in Dachau for his resistance to the Nazis. He was modest, self effacing, morally incorruptible, intellectually rigorous and despite his treatment, kind and noble spirited. I later found out this about the man know to us as "Father Andreas":
Priests from Dachau worked in the "Plantation" and in the enormous S.S. industrial complex immediately to the west of the camp. In February 1942, two groups of younger Polish priests and scholastics were chosen for work as carpenters' apprentices, but they had actually been chosen (at the express order of Heinrich Himmler) to be injected with pus to study gangrene or to have their body temperature lowered to 27 degrees Centigrade in order to study resuscitation of German fliers downed in the North Atlantic. The Rev. Andreas Reiser, a German, was crowned with barbed wire and a group of Jewish prisoners was forced to hail him as their king, and the Rev. Stanislaus Bednarski, a Pole, was hanged on a cross.
