Create a tableAgreeDisagreeWhat you could say for agreeOne-third
of Germans were Catholics and two-thirds were Protestants. At the
beginning they cooperated with the Nazis. The Nazis believed In
constructive Christianity and freedom of every religious
denomination (groups)Hitler met the pope in 1935 and he agreed to
support the Nazi regime as long as the Nazis didnt interfere with
the Catholic Church. This shows that the Church did support the
Nazi regime.
In 1936, the Protestant Reich Church was created. This did not
have the Christian cross as its symbol but the swastika. Only
invited Nazis were allowed to give sermons in a Reich Church.This
Church willingly supported the Nazi regime.The Church believed that
the new government protected them from communism and maintained
traditional morals and family values.What you could say for
Disagree The Churches were more often concerned with their own
institutions than speaking against the regime. Some religious
leaders did speak against NazismThe Nazis saw the church and
Christianity as a threat to their policies.In 1933, the Catholic
Church had viewed the Nazis as a barrier to the spread of communism
from Russia. In this year, Hitler and the Catholic Church signed an
agreement that he would not interfere with the Catholic Church
while the Church would not comment on politics.
Conclusion What we thinkNot all the churches did not willingly
support the Nazi regime, the religious leaders spoke out against
Nazism. However some Churches such as the protestant Reich Church
did support the Nazi regime.
