Interview with Hans Braun, who worked in the SS Main Office before and during the war. Nurnberg, 1983.
[The SS Main Office was the central command office of the Schutzstaffel (SS).]

Hans:
" I can say what we wanted to stop was the Judeo influence in the churches, something back then that was starting to get worse and worse. One tract we were shown from 1927, I believe, was that Jews were the sole owners of the Bible and God, and we 'gentiles' had to bend to their will. Everything the Church believed was actually tied to Jews, so we should let them do the teaching and tell us how the life of Christ was. We labeled these claims as false.

The German Christians were formed to counter these claims, the Church had done just fine in the last two thousand years without Jews, and thankfully many in Europe saw them for the fraud they were. They came to us only a few hundred years ago, and asked us to believe they were the ones always present in the lands of the Bible. Many of us dispute this. I will say Himmler sometimes sounded like he was against the Church, but he really was not. He sought a worldview that wove old Germanic ideas with those of the Church, and wanted nothing to do with the Jews....

.....While touring this camp, the prisoners, who were all enlisted men with no political affiliations, asked for mass to be said. We were surprised as we were under the impression the Soviets forbade religion, unless it was Judaism.

Our translator said that was true, and these men had to worship in secret, or by themselves so the regime would not know. "

Presenting some information that is different than what we are normally conditioned to believe.
