Cars,Travel and Military in Germany

Here’s some interesting photos of Catholic priests in supprt of Hitler. I see photos like the ones below of the German Catholics supporting Hitler and it just makes me sick to my stomach.  Did Hitler make them do it ?  Did the Catholics put up with it out of fear, or simply because they also wanted to wipe out the Jewish people?

Here are some Catholic priests giving Hitler the a-okay salute during a Youth Rally in Berlin, Germany (August 1933)

As a chairman of the German bishop conference the Breslauer Cardinal Bertram plays a crucial role in shaping the attitude of the German bishops in relation to the National Socialist state.  THis is the funeral procession of Bishop Bares in Berlin (1935)

(Ablove) Cardinal Secretary of State, Eugenio Pacelli (later to become Pope Pius XII) signs the Concordat between Nazi Germany and the Vatican at a formal ceremony in Rome on 20 July 1933. Nazi Vice-Chancellor Franz von Papen sits at the left, Pacelli in the middle, and the Rudolf Buttmann sits at the right.

The Concordat effectively legitimized Hitler and the Nazi government to the eyes of Catholicism, Christianity, and the world.
