There were also Catholic and Protestant religious publications that praised the Nazis, not to mention favorable press received in secular publications. The first major condemnation of Nazism by a religious leader was that of Pope Pius XI in 1937, shortly before his death and four years after Hitler's accession to power and the true nature of the Nazi regime became evident. However, numerous Catholic clergy and laymen in both Germany and this country (Father Coughlin) supported Hitler. Ditto for the Protestants. For every Dietrich Bonhoeffer, there were dozens of "German Christians" who endorsed the Nazi regime, in both pulpit and pew. There were Nazi sympathizers among American Protestant clergy, e.g., Gerald L.K. Smith.

There were Mormons complicit in supporting the Nazis. However, they were a very small minority in a German nation that was about 55% Protestant and 35% Catholic. Even more to shame, there were thousands of men of partial (one-quarter to one-half) Jewish ancestry who served in the German armed forces during World War II, a few even holding the rank of general.

Ah, but it wasn’t a SMALL MINORITY of Mormons who supported Hitler. The professor who introduced me to Mormonism (and baptized me LDS as well), served a mission in Germany just after WWII. He proudly relayed how the Nazi supporters were the easiest to convert to Mormonism, because it was a ‘white’ religion and the idea of Indians becoming ‘white and delight-some’ appealed to them. According to him, and a couple of his missionary companions that I met, the former Nazi’s saw in Mormonism a spiritual version of Hitler’s policies.
