5/15/08 11:17 pm - Storm Troopers of ChristStorm Troopers of Christ: Baptism and the Jews in the Third ReichIn 1933 Berlin Bishop Joachim Hossenfelder proclaimed the popular, pro-Nazi “German Christian” movement the “Storm Troopers of Christ.” Hossenfelder led the early phase of a movement that still echoes through the church today, even though the world has tried to forget. This film uncovers a history few have remembered: a church of heroes and heretics, of selfless good alongside unspeakable evil: -Ludwig Mueller, the bishop of the Third Reich -Martin Niemoeller, the first to resist the Nazification of the church -Karl Themel, a pastor who used baptismal certificates to send “Jewish Christians” to the concentration camps -Werner Syltan, a pastor who died at Dachau because of his work on behalf of persons of Jewish descent -Walter Grundmann, a reknown Biblical scholar and architect of the “Institute for the Study and Eradication of Jewish Influence on German Church Life”.
