| Abstract | "Brandon Bloch examines German Protestantism's postwar transformation. Avid nationalists and militarists, Protestants had largely backed the Nazis. Then, under pressure from the Allied occupation, they turned to democracy and human rights. But reorientation came at the cost of historical blindness, as the Church sought to whitewash its past errors."-- Provided by publisher. |
