Excuse me, he was a member of the Hitler Youth, not the Nazi Party. He joined the HJ because otherwise, they would have forced him to leave Catholic school and go to public school, where he would have been required to say prayers to Hitler (you read that correctly). He went to one HJ meeting.
He also deserted from his post in the army. Desertion was punishable by death.
On the defensive, I see.
And Luther lived 400 years before Hitler and Hitler’s socialism, didn’t he.
So, who is more culpable?
A man who faithfully took vows as a youth 400 years ago to follow Christ as a priest, or a man who faithfully joined Hitler’s Youth Movement at the time it was happening?
I would prefer to argue the case of the man who never heard the name Hitler and never knew of his anti-Christian hatred of Christ’s own kin.
