another lie collapses. has this establishment uttered a single word of truth about that conflict, the outcome of which still decides our miserable fate?
Martin Niemöller together with Dietrich Bonhöffer (Lutheran pastor involved with the groups from which the plotters of the failed July 20 1944 assault on Hitler would come) are basically the only examples people can come up with as examples of Christian/ecclesiastical resistance in Germany to Hitler and the Nazi's (save for those known to hyperspecialists on the matter). A sobering thought...?
Thank's for this exposé of Niemöller. Sources frequently misrepresent him and his supposed poem, it turns out, such as The Penguin Dictionary of the Third Reich.
Another great iconoclastic expose Simon.
Thank you!

The most repulsive element in the obscuring of the truth of the sermon-statement is the insertion of 'Social Democrat'.
No-one ever goes after 'Social Democrats' for when a breeze or wind start blowing they disappear into the ether.
This is very true! It is not like being a Catholic or Jew.
