Totally agree.

A few years ago I was visiting in Northern Germany (formerly East Germany) There was a huge family get together for the friend I was traveling with, many of the family were in their 80’s and 90’s.

It was absolutely astonishing as these old German women told their stories of how as children, they ran ran their homes along the Baltic Sea, family dispersed and never returned. It took over a year for the family to reunite. That was prior to WW I.

The old women were singing beautiful Christian hymns in German, when all of a sudden, their younger brother who was across the table from me started crying. He stated, “That was the hymn we sang as I was inducted into Hitler’s army. (He was on a Panzer tank crew, was captured by the Russians on May 8, 1945, while walking home from the front, sent to Siberia and allowed to leave Siberia in 1952 to return to Germany as a high ranking police officer(spy))

This was the first time I realized that Hitler sold the war to the German people as a Christian war. Sure opened my eyes!
