These words came from the mouth or the pen of Joseph Goebbels :

• Goebbels spoke of Hitler as "either Christ or St. John." "I converse with Christ. I believed I had overcome him, but I have only overcome his idoltrous priests and false servants. " _{footnote # 1}
• " I take the Bible, and all evening long I read the simplest and greatest sermon that has ever been given to mankind: The Sermon on the Mount! 'Blessed are they who suffer persecution for the sake of justice, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven'! " _{footnote # 1}
• "Christ is the genius of love, as such the most diametrical opposite of Judaism, which is the incarnation of hate. The Jew is a non-race among the races of the earth.... Christ is the first great enemy of the Jews.... that is why Judaism had to get rid of him. For he was shaking the very foundations of its future international power. The Jew is the lie personified. When he crucified Christ, he crucified everlasting truth for the first time in history." _{footnote # 1}
• " The idea of sacrifice first gained visible shape in Christ. Sacrifice is intrinsic to socialism.... The Jew, however, does not understand this at all. His socialism consists of sacrificing others for himself. This is what Marxism is like in practice.... The struggle we are now waging today until victory or the bitter end, is in its deepest sense, a struggle between Christ and Marx. Christ: the principle of love. Marx: the principle of hate." _{footnote # 1}
• " Christ cannot have been a Jew. I do not need to prove this with science or scholarship. It is so!" _{footnote # 1}
• " A Jew is for me an object of disgust. I feel like vomiting when I see one. Christ could not possibly have been a Jew. It is not necessary to prove that scientifically – it is a fact." _{footnote # 2}
• " When today a clique accuses us of having anti-Christian opinions, I believe that the first Christian, Christ himself, would discover more of his teaching in our actions than in this theological hair-splitting." _{footnote # 3}
• " When we call for the unification of the Protestant Church, we do so because we do not see how, in a time when the whole Reich is unifying itself, twenty-eight Landeskirchen can persist.... In the interpretation of the Gospel one may hold the command of God higher than human commands. In the interpretation of political realities, we consider ourselves to be God's instrument." _{footnote # 4}
• " We have a feeling that Germany has been transformed into a great house of God, including all classes, professions and creeds, where the Führer as our mediator stood before the throne of the Almighty." _{footnote # 5}

These words came from the mouth or the pen
of Heinrich Himmler :

One of the most powerful men in Nazi Germany, Himmler served as the commander of the German Schutzstaffel (SS) and controlled the Gestapo. He grew up as a devout Catholic and attended mass regularly. His father's brother may have been a Nazi Jesuit priest. Eventually he moved away from Catholicism toward Aryan occultist beliefs, but he, nevertheless, never lost his belief in God and he thought of Jesus as an Aryan.

• Heinrich Himmler established the Reich's "Central Agency for the Struggle against Homosexuality and Abortion."
• "I swear before God this holy oath, that I shall give absolute confidence to the Fuehrer of the German Reich and people." _{footnote # 6}
• "In ideological training I forbid every attack against Christ as a person, since such attacks or insults that Christ was a Jew are unworthy of us and certainly untrue historically." _{footnote # 7}
• "You Einsatztruppen (task forces) are called upon to fulfill a repulsive duty. But you are soldiers who have to carry out every order unconditionally. You have a responsibility before God and Hitler for everything that is happening. I myself hate this bloody business and I have been moved to the depths of my soul. But I am obeying the highest law by doing my duty. Man must defend himself against bedbugs and rats – against vermin." _{footnote # 8}
• "Atheism is the only world-view or religious view that is not tolerated within the SS." _{footnote # 9}

These words came from the mouth or the pen
of Hermann Göring :

• " We have told the churches that we stand for positive Christianity. Through the zeal of our faith, the strength of our faith, we have once again shown what faith means, we have once again taken the Volk, which believed in nothing, back to faith." _{footnote # 10}
In the same speech, Göring attacked paganists: [Steigmann-Gall] To see a photo of the wedding, click here.
• "God gave the savior to the German people. We have faith, deep and unshakeable faith, that he [Hitler] was sent to us by God to save Germany."_{# 11}
• "How shall I give expression, O my Führer, to what is in our hearts? How shall I find words to express your deeds? Has there ever been a mortal as beloved as you, my Führer? Was there ever belief as strong as the belief in your mission. You were sent us by God for Germany! " _{# 12}
• "Although he himself [Hitler] was a Catholic, he wished the Protestant Church to have a stronger position in Germany, since Germany was two-thirds Protestant." _{# 13}
• "The Führer wanted to achieve the unification of the Protestant Evangelical Churches by appointing a Reich Bishop, so that there would be a high Protestant church dignitary as well as a high Catholic church dignitary."_{# 13}
• "With the Catholic Church the Führer ordered a concordat to be concluded by Herr Von Papen. Shortly before that agreement was concluded by Herr Von Papen I visited the Pope myself. I had numerous connections with the higher Catholic clergy because of my Catholic mother, and thus – I am myself a Protestant – I had a view of both camps."_{# 13}
• "I myself am not what you might call a churchgoer, but I have gone now and then, and have always considered I belonged to the Church and have always had those functions over which the Church presides – marriage, christening, burial, et cetera – carried out in my house by the Church."_{# 13}

These words came from the mouth or the pen
of Hans Hinkel :

• "Through his acts and his spiritual attitude he began the fight which we still wage today; with Luther the revolution of German blood and feeling against alien elements of the Volk was begun" . _{footnote # 14}
• "To continue and complete his Protestantism, nationalism must make the picture of Luther, of a German fighter, live as an example above the barriers of confession for all German blood comrades." _{footnote # 15}

These words came from the mouth or the pen
of Rudolf Hess :

Hess edited Hitler's book Mein Kampf and served as Hitler's deputy. He emerged as a prominent figure in Nazi Germany.

• "You take an oath to a man whom you know follows the laws of providence, which he obeys independently of the influence of earthly powers, who leads the German people rightly, and who will guide Germany's fate. Through your oath you bind yourselves to a man who – that is our faith – was sent to us by higher powers. Do not seek Adolf Hitler with your mind. You will find him through he strength of your hearts!" _{footnote # 16}
• "We believe that the Führer is fulfilling a divine mission to German destiny! This belief is beyond challenge." _{footnote # 17}
• "With all our powers we will endeavour to be worthy of the Führer thou, O Lord, has sent us!" _{footnote # 18}
• "No matter what human beings do I shall some day stand before the judgement seat of the Eternal. I shall answer to Him, and I know he will judge me innocent." _{footnote # 19}

These words came from the mouth or the pen
of Rudolf Höss :

Höss served as a senior Nazi official, member of the SS and Waffen-SS (with the rank of SS-Obersturmbannführer) and was longest-serving commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp where he held responsibility for the murder of hundreds of thousands of people.

• In his Nuremberg cell, Rudolf Hoess told psychologist G.M. Gilbert how he got brought up in a rigorous Catholic tradition:
  "My father was really a bigot. He was very strict and fanatical. I learned that my father took a religious oath at the time of the birth of my younger sister, dedicating me to God and the priesthood, and after that leading a Joseph married life [celibacy]. He directed my entire youthful education toward the goal of making me a priest. I had to pray and go to church endlessly, do penance over the slightest misdeed – praying as punishment for any little unkindness to my sister, or something like that." _{footnote # 20}
• When asked if his father ever beat him, Hoess replied that he was only punished by prayer: "The thing that made me so stubborn and probably made me later on cut off from people was his way of making me feel that I had wronged him personally, and that, since I was spiritually a minor, he was responsible to God for my sins." _{footnote #20}
