Unter geändertem Titel wird hier die erstmals 1978 erschienene Studie des Theologen Heinrich Missalla über die "Kirchliche Kriegshilfe" des Deutschen Caritasverbandes im Zweiten Weltkrieg neu ediert. Im Zentrum der untersuchten Unternehmung stand die Bereitstellung von Schriftgut für die Militärseelsorge. In einem Dankschreiben vom 17.8.1940 erklärte Caritas-Präsident Benedikt Kreutz zu dieser Arbeit: "Es wird unser Bestreben sein, den Wehrwillen und den sieghaften Glauben unserer mutigen Truppe auch fernerhin zu stärken, indem wir gerade sie mit einem Lesestoff versorgen, der aus den unversiegbaren Quellen religiöser Tiefe, inniger Volksverbundenheit und letzter, nationaler Verpflichtung schöpft." Solche Assistenz wurde aber keineswegs von allen Stellen in Wehrmacht, NS-Staat und Partei gewünscht. Der Verfasser Heinrich Missalla (1926-2018), der selbst noch kurz nach Ende der Schlacht um Stalingrad bei einer leichten Flak-Abteilung als 16jähriger Luftwaffenhelfer Dienst tun musste, beleuchtet ohne Polemik die Akteure und Gegenstände der Kirchlichen Kriegshilfe. Obwohl der federführende Organisator Heinrich Höfler ganz sicher kein Nationalsozialist war und sich zunehmend sogar auf illegale Aktivitäten verlegte, kamen kriegstheologische Machwerke der schlimmsten Art in die Schriftenauswahl.

Gemäß Vereinbarung im Reichkonkordat 1933 taten rund 20.000 Theologen, Ordensleute und Priester in der deutschen Wehrmacht unter dem Oberbefehl Adolf Hitlers ihren Dienst als Sanitätssoldaten oder Kriegspfarrer. Sie meinten mit sehr wenigen Ausnahmen, auf solche Weise ihre "Pflicht gegenüber Gott" zu erfüllen und ihrem Vaterland zu dienen. Nicht zuletzt stützten diese römisch-katholischen Männer, auch wenn sie den Nationalsozialismus ablehnten, die massenmörderische Kriegsapparatur des Verbrecherstaates. In der vorliegenden, erstmals 1999 veröffentlichten Dokumentation erschließt der Theologe Heinrich Missalla (+ 2018) Rundbriefe und Predigtvorlagen, die die beim Caritasverband angebundene "Kirchliche Kriegshilfe" 1940-1944 für die Arbeit der deutschen katholischen Militärseelsorge verbreitet hat. Die damals von Heinrich Höfler zusammengestellten Texte geben Aufschluss über die Mentalität einer Generation, die sich im Krieg durch Gehorsam und Opferbereitschaft "bewähren" wollte. Anders als in der Botschaft Jesu von Nazareth wurde das Töten von Menschen als gerechtfertigt empfunden, ebenso die militärische Durchsetzung nationaler Interessen. Nach 1945 hat man die Ideologie des Staatsgehorsams und die Strukturen der kirchlich-militärischen Kooperation nicht im Grundsätzlichen hinterfragt. Die Häresie der theologisierten Kriegsgewalt ist im ganzen 20. Jahrhundert seitens der kirchlichen Verantwortlichen nicht aufgearbeitet worden. Schon vor über zwei Jahrzehnten beschloss H. Missalla die vorliegende Studie mit dem prophetischen Satz: "Es bleibt die Befürchtung, dass es für eine Rückgewinnung der Glaubwürdigkeit der Kirche zu spät ist." Kirche & Weltkrieg, Band 14

How did Germany's Christians respond to Nazism? In Twisted Cross, Doris Bergen addresses one important element of this response by focusing on the 600,000 self-described 'German Christians,' who sought to expunge all Jewish elements from the Christian church. In a process that became more daring as Nazi plans for genocide unfolded, this group of Protestant lay people and clergy rejected the Old Testament, ousted people defined as non-Aryans from their congregations, denied the Jewish ancestry of Jesus, and removed Hebrew words like 'Hallelujah' from hymns. Bergen refutes the notion that the German Christians were a marginal group and demonstrates that members occupied key positions within the Protestant church even after their agenda was rejected by the Nazi leadership. Extending her analysis into the postwar period, Bergen shows how the German Christians were relatively easily reincorporated into mainstream church life after 1945. Throughout Twisted Cross, Bergen reveals the important role played by women and by the ideology of spiritual motherhood amid the German Christians' glorification of a 'manly' church.

Winner of the Ernst Fraenkel Prize, Wiener Holocaust Library An Open Letters Monthly Best History Book of the Year A New York Post “Must-Read” In the most crucial phase of the Second World War, German troops confronted the Allies across lands largely populated by Muslims. Nazi officials saw Islam as a powerful force with the same enemies as Germany: the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the Jews. Islam and Nazi Germany’s War is the first comprehensive account of Berlin’s remarkably ambitious attempts to build an alliance with the Islamic world. “Motadel describes the Mufti’s Nazi dealings vividly...Impeccably researched and clearly written, [his] book will transform our understanding of the Nazi policies that were, Motadel writes, some ‘of the most vigorous attempts to politicize and instrumentalize Islam in modern history.’” —Dominic Green, Wall Street Journal “Motadel’s treatment of an unsavory segment of modern Muslim history is as revealing as it is nuanced. Its strength lies not just in its erudite account of the Nazi perception of Islam but also in illustrating how the Allies used exactly the same tactics to rally Muslims against Hitler. With the specter of Isis haunting the world, it contains lessons from history we all need to learn.” —Ziauddin Sardar, The Independent

Why did some German Catholics support and others oppose the police state that was the Third Reich? In this insightful analysis, Donald Dietrich explores the social-psychological dynamics behind the religious reactions of German Catholics to political and moral issues during the late Weimar and Third Reich eras. Along with many other Germans, Catholics were enmeshed in a cruel dilemma. Assenting to Nazi ideals would mean a loss of moral credibility; opposing them would result in persecution. Dietrich shows how Catholics accommodated and sometimes resisted totalitarianism and the Final Solution. Three groups of Catholics are examined: the hierarchy, the theologians, and the laity. The literature on Nazi Germany is enormous. But this is the first analysis of the dynamics shaping individual motivations and group response to Nazi ideals. This comprehensive work fuses results derived from social science research with the massive amount of historical data available. It is an interdisciplinary study relating religious values to patterns of behavior, an issue that retains its significance today.

Few scholarly fields have developed in recent decades as rapidly and vigorously as Holocaust Studies. At the start of the twenty-first century, the persecution and murder perpetrated by the Nazi regime have become the subjects of an enormous literature in multiple academic disciplines and a touchstone of public and intellectual discourse in such diverse fields as politics, ethics and religion. Forward-looking and multi-disciplinary, this handbook draws on the work of an international team of forty-seven outstanding scholars. The handbook is thematically divided into five broad sections. Part One, Enablers, concentrates on the broad and necessary contextual conditions for the Holocaust. Part Two, Protagonists, concentrates on the principal persons and groups involved in the Holocaust and attempts to disaggregate the conventional interpretive categories of perpetrator, victim, and bystander. It examines the agency of the Nazi leaders and killers and of those involved in resisting and surviving the assault. Part Three, Settings, concentrates on the particular places, sites, and physical circumstances where the actions of the Holocaust's protagonists and the forms of persecution were literally grounded. Part Four, Representations, engages complex questions about how the Holocaust can and should be grasped and what meaning or lack of meaning might be attributed to events through historical analysis, interpretation of texts, artistic creation and criticism, and philosophical and religious reflection. Part Five, Aftereffects, explores the Holocaust's impact on politics and ethics, education and religion, national identities and international relations, the prospects for genocide prevention, and the defense of human rights.

Between 1939 and 1945 more than 17,000 Catholic German priests and seminarians were conscripted into Hitler’s Wehrmacht. Men who had devoted their lives to God found themselves advancing the cause of an abhorrent regime. Lauren Faulkner Rossi draws on personal correspondence, official military reports, memoirs, and interviews to present a detailed picture of Catholic priests who served faithfully in the German armed forces in the Second World War. Most of them failed to see the bitter irony of their predicament. Wehrmacht Priests plumbs the moral justifications of men who were committed to their religious vocation as well as to the cause of German nationalism. In their wartime and postwar writings, these soldiers often stated frankly that they went to war willingly, because it was their spiritual duty to care for their countrymen in uniform. But while some priests became military chaplains, carrying out work consistent with their religious training, most served in medical roles or, in the case of seminarians, in general infantry. Their convictions about their duty only strengthened as Germany waged an increasingly desperate battle against the Soviet Union, which they believed was an existential threat to the Catholic Church and German civilization. Wehrmacht Priests unpacks the complex relationship between the Catholic Church and the Nazi regime, including the Church’s fierce but futile attempts to preserve its independence under Hitler’s dictatorship, its accommodations with the Nazis regarding spiritual care in the military, and the shortcomings of Catholic doctrine in the face of total war and genocide.

The German 'Blitz' that followed the Battle of Britain killed tens of thousands and laid waste to large areas of many British cities. And although the destruction of 1940-1 was never repeated on the same scale, fears that Hitler possessed a secret weapon of mass destruction never entirely died, and were partially realized in the VI and V2 raids of 1944-5. The British and American response to the 'Blitz', especially from 1943 onwards, was massive and incomparably more devastating - with apocalyptic consequences for German cities such as Hamburg, Dresden, and Berlin, to name but the most prominent. In this ground-breaking new book, German historian Dietmar Süss investigates the effects of the bombing on both Britain and Nazi Germany, showing how these two very different societies sought to withstand the onslaught and keep up morale amidst the material devastation and psychological trauma that was visited upon them. And, as he reflects in the conclusion, this is not a story that is safely confined to the past: the debate over the rights and the wrongs of the mass bombing of British and German cities during World War II remains a highly emotional subject even today.
