Me und Gott

Last week the Nazi leaders, conscious of a need to bring otherworldly comfort to their blitzed home front, were rapidly converting from heathen Wotan worship to Christianity. Some notable conversions:

P:The Hamburger Fremdenblatt, which in a Christmas editorial exhorted bombed-out Germans to forget their "sorrow over the loss of goods and chattels," by meditating upon "indestructible things," suggested that religion "has again become modern."

P:Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler and Chief Storm Trooper Wilhelm Schepmann, who ordered their men to attend church services on Christmas Day.

P:Most staggering conversion was that of hitherto fiercely anti-Christian Dr. Alfred Rosenberg (whose pagan activities were condemned by the late Pope Pius XI). Nazidom's No. 1 heathen preached a stirring Christian sermon: "Never before have millions upon millions faced death as now. What is life? ... Is it a mirage, only existing in our minds? . . . Is it a theater in which we appear as puppets, playing dramas and comedies to amuse? We do not know whom: God or Satan? Two thousand years ago a miracle occurred and Christ gave us an answer. Even those who did not believe in Christ must admit that His coming was the birth of a new era, establishing contact between our earthly life and eternity."
