Check any mid-century almanac

Fresh out of German mid-century almanacs here. The reason I ask is, in the world of debate it is absolutely astonishing how many times people repeat things over and over again with no proof whatsoever. And then when it comes out that there is lots more opinion and conjecture than proof, the response is usally "Well, everyone knows THAT." I am not saying that no proof of your conjecture can be found. I am just trying to get to the facts, and nothing presents facts better than evidence. I am sure you understand.

But, to sum up, what you are saying is, you have no proof then.

Don’t know if it’s relevant and of course this is purely anecdotal, but my father, who grew up in Holland in the 20s and 30s—always told me that Holland was roughly 1/3 Catholic, 1/3 Lutheran, 1/3 Socialist. His family was Socialist. They didn’t go to church. I’ll bet people who considered themselves National Socialists in Germany didn’t either.
