...German Catholic Church and German police claim,they were responsible for Hitler's licensed barbarism,not the Lutherans and certainly not any rival political party or political group. They (and all simple-minded people) read the Bible too literally and do not accept scholarship which puts its earliest versions at ca.250 AD. Get to know a German Catholic, particularly one from the Schwarzwald or Bavaria where insolence and brutality are freely tolerated and racism is openly on display. It's the same wherever German Catholics go. Hitler's legacy is the ruin of his home country, Austria, and an independent country, Germany. His dangerous and murderous military adventures and anti-Communist crusade set the tone also for US anti-Communism.
However to dimwits in religious sects,it must be pointed out that nowadays the Vatican strongly denounces both Bolshevism and Nazism.
....
On the left there is an national narrative. As Michael O Riordain put it,
"The Italians taught the IRA how to do the 'play'" (The Judgement,23 December 1991,Dublin).
In the important moment the Italian Catholic Church redeemed the whole Catholic Church from charges of anti-Semitism by throwing open monasteries and convents to the Jews.
The Irish dimension
The IRA played both Communists and fascists off against each other in the style of the CIA/FBI mafia. Sean Mc Bride,the Chief of Staff,wrote into the IRA's Standing Orders the prohibition of "communist and fascist literature". That change to a dangerous if largely fantasy-group's constitution came about in 1937 because in Ireland the Provos and their forerunners have always tried to ride the two horses of Progress and Reaction.
