Nazi War on Christians. Adolf Hitler’s white supremacist Nazis have often attacked Christians.

There were many extremists in Nazi Germany among Christians, including extremist in clergy who were part of the Nazi’s Anti-Semitic campaign. But the history of Nazi oppression of Christians is often forgotten both in history and in current day reality, especially when viewed in the historical light that the Nazi goal was to destroy Christianity.  Hitler’s Nazis persecuted Christians who defied them and who stood for Christian values in Germany. Aggressive anti-Church radicals like Propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler led a take over of churches in Germany (the Kirchenkampf), forcing them to reject any Christian values that the Nazi party would not accept. This led to struggles among both Protestant and the Roman Catholic Churches which were occupied by the Nazi racial supremacists. Jesuits were attacked and Catholic properties were taken over by the Nazis.

Clergymen were sent to concentration camps, and Nazi Himmler sought to end the “principle of Christian mercy” among the German people, which was part of a long-term goal to end Christianity in Nazi Germany. As part of war criminal trials, the United States Organization of Strategic Services (OSS) developed a document on “The Nazi Master Plan” to destroy Christianity in Germany. As Nazi Baldur von Shirach wrote “the destruction of Christianity was explicitly recognized as a purpose of the National Socialist movement.” Nearly 2000 Polish Christian clergy were sent to the Nazi concentration camps. The Jehovah Witness religious adherents were singled out for oppression and sent to concentration camps. The attack on Christians by the Nazis did not end with Adolf Hitler or WWII.

The continuing Nazi racist ideology remains focused on rejection and terrorism of Christianity around the world. In April 2015, this included a Nazi terrorist bombing at Orthodox parish of Saint Vladimir in Marzahn-Hellensdorf, near Berlin.

In the United States, this has included efforts by Nazi terrorists to attack African-American churches, such as Daniel Cowart’s attack in Tennessee and Dylann Roof’s attack in Charleston, where he murdered 9 African-Americans.

In April 2014, a Nazi terrorist killed three Christians in Kansas City, who were preparing for a play, including a 14 year old boy, Reat Griffin Underwood (a Boy Scout), his grandfather, and another woman.

As R.E.A.L. has investigated in the USA, Nazi terrorists view the end of Christianity to be a priority for the goals. Therefore, Nazi terror attacks on Christian churches fits within their ideology. Stormfront Nazis post that their racial identity is their only religion.  Christians have a particular responsibility both as victims and the historical responsibility of those extremists with white supremacists to protest and reject Nazi and Hitler.
