Theologians Under Hitler

"Theologians Under Hitler" refers to religious scholars and clergy who navigated the complex and often dangerous environment of Nazi Germany. Some supported or collaborated with the regime, aiming to align faith with National Socialist ideology, while others resisted, risking persecution. Theologians varied in their responses—some promoted Nazi-friendly doctrines, others sought to preserve Christian teachings, and a few engaged in active opposition. Their actions and teachings illuminate how religion and morality were challenged under Hitler’s totalitarian rule, illustrating the ways faith communities either accommodated or resisted oppressive regimes.
