Interesting, completely unrelated but fun fact: the nazis hated Catholics and all Christians, they tried banning and corrupting it but failed. This is because they were worried that Christians had too much empathy.
The history of the Confessing Church and Bonhoeffer's whole life's work say otherwise. The German church was one of the biggest channels of Nazi propaganda and support, especially among Lutherans.
That's why the whole Confessing Church movement was needed.
I'm anything but a big fan of Jehova's witnesses, but the story surrounding August Dickmann's execution really made me appreciate their commitment to pacifism.
To be fair, their commitment to pacifism is just another tool of control. The members are kept out of politics so they won't spend time or resources on serving anyone but the Governing Body^tm.
