Talk:Deutsche Christen

There seems to be a good German article on this subject. Perhaps some material could be translated? http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Christen Dybryd 07:17, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I have only a little knowlage of reading german, by 'good', you mean long, that contains the history of the DC and should be in it's own article. The information contained in the 3ed party links is very extensive.

Adolf Hitler was not a member of the German Christians organization. The German Christians were a purely protestant group, while Hitler was a Roman Catholic. Also, the medal in the picture has nothing to do with the German Christians. It was a medal awarded to women who had mothered more than three children (Cross of Honor of the German Mother). 87.169.40.167 00:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I see now there already is an article about German Christians with more accurate information about the group. The Deutsche Christen article mixes up information about the German Christians organization and about Nazi church politics in general. Also it is partly speculative. I doubt that the German Christians were embraced by most Nazis, as many of them were opposed to Christianity in general. Furthermore, official plans to replace Christianity with a new Führer worshipping cult or a neo-paganist religion, although encouraged by some Nazi thinkers like Alfred Rosenberg and Jakob Wilhelm Hauer, were not to be taken into action (if at all) before the victorious end of the war, because Hitler knew he needed the loyalty of the Christian population. I have suggested this article to be deleted. 87.169.33.176 02:58, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree wholeheartedly with you recommendation to delete this article. At the very least, the author's editorializing should be excised. Examples: 1 Hitler did not have to parade his belief in God, as so many American Christians do now. 2 (The German Christian Social movement, remarkably, resembles the Christian Right movement in America today.) It is quite obvious that the author is trying to compare conservative Christians to Fascists with no basis in fact. If nothing else, the Jew's and Israel's strongest allies are Conservative Christians. If he wished to call Christians fascists, then he should do so directly, instead of hiding behind pseudo-intellectualism.

Best Regards,

Jeff Rogers, Christian and I guess, Fascist (won't my momma be surprised at that one!)


 * I just don't see why this article is not deleted. Not only that the author's knowledge of the English language is rather poor (parts of the text are barely understandable) and a German Christians page already exists; the article also contains more fiction than fact, while the supposed subject (the German Christians organization and its ideology) is barely mentioned. 87.169.43.125 21:53, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I replaced the article with a redirect to German Christians (movement). Maybe there's a little bit of useful info in the old content that can be merged, but it's 99% crap as others here have observed. 64.160.39.153 18:43, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
