[32] Haushofer was, what is called today, a proponent of "Eurasianism", advocating a policy of GermanRussian hegemony and alliance to offset an Anglo-American power structure's potentially dominating influence in Europe. In the end, the Berlin state senate financed the Elser sculpture. But the Luftwaffe's effort eased in the last 10 attacks as seven Kampfgruppen moved to Austria in preparation for the Balkans Campaign in Yugoslavia and Greece. He was ambushed by a team of Czech and Slovak soldiers who had been sent by the Czechoslovak government-in-exile to kill the Reich-Protector; the team was trained by the British Special Operations Executive. Even from Radio Moscow I never heard that the German government and the regime must be overthrown. As Vatican Secretary of State, he advocated dtente via the Reichskonkordat and hoped to build trust and respect in Hitler's government. Vice Chancellor Franz von Papen, the leader of the Catholic right-wing, meanwhile negotiated a Reich concordat with the Holy See, which prohibited clergy from participating in politics. [48] Meiser's arrest two weeks earlier had stirred mass public protests of thousands in Bavaria and Wrttemberg and initiated protests to the German Foreign Ministry from countries around the world. [3][pageneeded], Unknown to Elser, Hitler had initially cancelled his speech at the Brgerbrukeller to devote his attention to planning the imminent war with France, but changed his mind and attended after all. The music soundtrack of the Fallout series is composed of both licensed music from the mid-century's Jazz Age to the Space Age, as well as original scores by Mark Morgan, Matt Gruber, Devin Townsend, and Inon Zur.The series also features original songs and covers commissioned for the games as diegetic music heard in the world of Fallout.. Much of the licensed music used in the [16], As part of the agreement with the conservative forces by which Hitler became chancellor in 1933, the non-party conservative Konstantin von Neurath remained foreign minister, a position he retained until 1938. Niemller was arrested by the Gestapo, and sent to the concentration camps. [11] In early 1931, the German bishops excommunicated the Nazi leadership and banned Catholics from the party. [7], Historiographical debates on the subject on Widerstand have often featured intense arguments about the nature, extent and effectiveness of resistance in the Third Reich. Elsewhere, everyone who might have had contact with Elser was hunted down and interrogated by the Gestapo. [156] The divergent aims between these two factions produced considerable tensions. [89], Following the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Nazis and the Communists made substantial gains in the 1930 federal election. [32] Others argue that the Luftwaffe made little impression on Fighter Command in the last week of August and first week of September and that the shift in strategy was not decisive. However, on 15 November, Elser made a full written confession, though the document did not survive the war. [34][35], It was also possible, if RAF losses became severe, that they could pull out to the north, wait for the German invasion, then redeploy southward again. When Reinhard Heydrich and Walter Schellenberg visited Elser in the workshop, Schellenberg noted, "He [Elser] responded to questioning only with reluctance but opened up when he was praised for his craftsmanship. In 1938, a committee of psychiatrists predicted three times as many mental as physical casualties from aerial bombing, implying three to four million psychiatric patients. During the rule of the regime, the Church frequently found itself in a difficult position. Thank you, Tal Schneider, Political Correspondent. [45] The party, the Bavarian People's Party and other groups "voted for their own emasculation in the paradoxical hope of saving their existence thereby". [80], Heydrich's SD forged documents and letters implicating Tukhachevsky and other Red Army commanders. He wanted to cover up part of his past, King explains. My leaving the Brgerbrukeller earlier than usual is proof to me that Providence wants me to reach my goal."[3]. Eventually, it would become a success. Kurt Jakob Ball-Kaduri, Berlin wird judenfrei: die Juden in Berlin in den Jahren 1942/1943. Examples of compromises for tactical reasons include social and material concessions to workers, deferment of punishing oppositional church leaders, "temporary" exemptions of intermarried Jews from the Holocaust, failure to punish hundreds of thousands of women for disregarding Hitler's 'total war' decree conscripting women into the work force, and rejection of coercion to enforce civilian evacuations from urban areas bombed by the Allies. [318] After the fall of France, peace overtures emanated from the Vatican, Sweden and the United States; Churchill responded that Germany would first have to free its conquered territories. [175] Total losses could have been as high as 600 bombers, just 1.5 percent of the sorties flown. Although a number of historians have argued that popular opinion, brought to a head by Galen's denunciations from the pulpit in the late summer of 1941, caused Hitler to suspend Nazi "Euthanasia," others disagree. It believed it could greatly affect the balance of power on the battlefield by disrupting production and damaging civilian morale. In France, it worked with the underground French Communist Party. A crowd formed of three to four hundred comprised essentially of women. Elser felt cheated, and was forced to move out of the house, severing ties with his family except for his sister Maria in Stuttgart. Although the weather was poor, heavy raids took place that afternoon on the London suburbs and the airfield at Farnborough. Morale was not mentioned until the ninth wartime directive on 21 September 1940. Spang, Christian W., Karl Haushofer und Japan. The crew would be ordered to drop their bombs either by a code word from the ground controller or at the conclusion of the signal transmissions which would stop. I would have preferred it if they executed me right away. [55], Beginning in April 1934, and at Hitler's request, Heydrich and Himmler began building a dossier on Sturmabteilung (SA) leader Ernst Rhm in an effort to remove him as a rival for party leadership. Four hypnotists were summoned. [150][151] Clemens August Graf von Galen and Konrad von Preysing attempted to protect priests from arrest. The air campaign soon got underway against London and other British cities. He bragged about being guilty, but he got a slap on the wrist and was out by the end of 1925, a year after the verdict was delivered, King says. But beyond maintaining their existence and fomenting industrial unrest, sometimes resulting in short-lived strikes, these networks were able to achieve little. [327] On 30 November, Pacelli sent an encoded message to archbishops around the world instructing them to apply for visas for "non-Aryan Catholics" to leave Germany. [151] On 9 June, in the village of Lidice 172 boys and men between age 14 to 84 were shot. Not so fast, When Israels red tape delayed the immigration of a widowed, octogenarian Holocaust survivor whose own sons had already proved their Jewishness for aliyah. [19] Voting preferences in the Weimar Republic were mainly determined by social class and religion, and the Catholics formed a distinguishable and tight-knit subculture within Germany, being alienated from the mainstream Protestant society as a result of the Kulturkampf and the NSDAP's strongly anti-Catholic identity. [210], Cardinal Michael von Faulhaber was an early critic of Nazism;[48] his three 1933 Advent sermons affirmed the Jewish origins of Jesus and the Bible. This nevertheless marked an important turning point. C. W. Spang, R.-H. Wippich (eds.). The Allies did so later when Bomber Command attacked rail communications and the United States Army Air Forces targeted oil, but that would have required an economic-industrial analysis of which the Luftwaffe was incapable. Pro-Nazi Austrian bishop Alois Hudal was a link in the chain in Rome, and the Pontifical Croatian College of St. Jerome offered refuge to Croatian fugitives guided by Krunoslav Draganovic. More than 13,000 civilians had been killed, and almost 20,000 injured, in September and October alone,[109] but the death toll was much less than expected. [99], As Acting Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, Heydrich applied carrot-and-stick methods. [107], Kesselring, commanding Luftflotte 2, was ordered to send 50 sorties per night against London and attack eastern harbours in daylight. German legal scholars of the 1930s carefully worked out guidelines for what type of bombing was permissible under international law. Eventually up to two-thirds of the populace were to be either removed to regions of Russia or exterminated after Nazi Germany won the war. The clock mechanism was co-ordinated with the distances of the intersecting beams from the target so the target was directly below when the bombs were released. [137] Although Heydrich's death was employed for pro-Reich propaganda, Hitler privately blamed Heydrich for his own death, through carelessness: Since it is opportunity which makes not only the thief but also the assassin, such heroic gestures as driving in an open, unarmoured vehicle or walking about the streets unguarded are just damned stupidity, which serves the Fatherland not one whit. Die Biografie." [213][214] In 1938, Preysing co-founded the Hilfswerk beim Bischflichen Ordinariat Berlin (Berlin Diocese Welfare Office). ), including a photo showing Gersdorff and Hitler. [52] Seminaries were closed, and religious education was criminalized; in 1922, the Bolsheviks arrested Patriarch Tikhon of Moscow. During 1942, the tireless Oster nevertheless succeeded in rebuilding an effective resistance network. However, there was nothing approaching active hostility to the regime. Catholic protests against the escalation of this policy into "euthanasia" began in the summer of 1940. He had likely been saved because the heavy oak leg of the conference table, behind which Stauffenberg's briefcase had been left, deflected the blast. [32], Ernst Karl Winter founded in 1939 in New York the "Austrian American Center", a non-partisan national committee with a Habsburg background. He roused them, ensured they took oxygen and Dextro-Energen tablets, then completed the mission. [53] A Catholic protest in May the same year against the closing of the Mnsterschwarzach monastery in Lower Franconia illustrates the regime's occasional response of not meeting protester demands while nevertheless responding with "flexibility" and "leniency" rather than repressing or punishing protesters. Moreover, the OKL could not settle on an appropriate strategy. Supporters of the assassins who were killed in the wake of these events included the church's leader, Bishop Gorazd, who is now revered as a martyr of the Orthodox Church. Although there were a few large air battles fought in daylight later in the month and into October, the Luftwaffe switched its main effort to night attacks. But sometimes it took more active forms, such as warning people about to be arrested, hiding them or helping them to escape, or turning a blind eye to oppositionist activities. There were also many new civil defence roles that gave a sense of fighting back rather than despair. [47] In power, Nazi leaders quickly banned extra-party demonstrations, fearing displays of dissent on open urban spaces might develop and grow, even without organization. [123], Cardinal Michael von Faulhaber gained an early reputation as a critic of the Nazis. [100] Later, the most trenchant public criticism of the Third Reich came from some of Germany's religious leaders, as the government was reluctant to move against them, and though they could claim to be merely attending to the spiritual welfare of their flocks, "what they had to say was at times so critical of the central doctrines of National Socialism that to say it required great boldness", and they became resistors. [24], When Hitler tried to intervene more in the running of the air force later in the war, he was faced with a political conflict of his own making between himself and Gring, which was not fully resolved until the war was almost over. This plunged the resistance into demoralisation and division. Nevertheless, Oster's usefulness to the resistance was now greatly reduced. (November 2009). [250] Lothar Knig was an important intermediary between the circle and bishops Conrad Grber of Freiberg and Presying of Berlin. He also joined the Red Front Fighters' Association, although he told his interrogators in 1939 that he attended a political assembly no more than three times while a member. Resistance remained largely a matter of individual conscience. During the trial the socialist and communist newspapers called Hitler a racist and said, Dont fall for this guy, says King. Heydrich's third name, "Eugen", was his late maternal grandfather's forename (Eugen Krantz had been the director of the Dresden Royal Conservatory). [158] Hundreds of arrests and the closure of Catholic presses followed Mit brennender Sorge, Pius XI's anti-Nazi encyclical.

During the night of 2223 April 1945, he and other prisoners, such as Klaus Bonhoeffer, were walked out of the prison by an SS squad and shot. [113] The former Catholic Centre Party leader and Reich Chancellor Heinrich Brning looked for a way to oust Hitler. [113][114] Lacking public ecclesiastical support, the Centre Party also dissolved on 5 July. This group made reports to the Soviet Union on German troop concentrations, air attacks on Germany, German aircraft production, and German fuel shipments. [134] Social worker Margarete Sommer counselled victims of racial persecution for Caritas Emergency Relief and in 1941 became director of the Welfare Office of the Berlin Diocesan Authority, under Lichtenberg, and Bishop Preysing. When, on 20 September, it appeared that the negotiations had broken down and that Chamberlain would resist Hitler's demands, the coup preparations were revived and finalised. Declared an enemy of the state in 1938, his newspaper was shut down. He served as president of the International Criminal Police Commission (ICPC, now known as Interpol) and chaired the January 1942 Wannsee Conference which formalised plans for the "Final Solution to the Jewish question"the deportation and genocide of all Jews in German-occupied Europe. Both drank arsenic and his wife then hanged herself. [103] A threatening, albeit sporadic at first, persecution of the Catholic Church in Germany began. In autumn 1909, he travelled with his wife for a month to Korea and Manchuria on the occasion of a railway construction. [85], Heydrich created the "Zentralstelle IIP Polen" unit of the Gestapo in order to coordinate the ethnic cleansing of Poles in "Operation Tannenberg" and the Intelligenzaktion,[86] two codenames for extermination actions directed at the Polish people during the German occupation of Poland. [10][pageneeded] Martin Niemller was also a special inmate in the Sachsenhausen "bunker" and believed the rumours that Elser was an SS man and an agent of Hitler and Himmler. [302], It has been argued that Pacelli dissuaded Pius XIwho was near death[303]from condemning Kristallnacht in November 1938. [214] Preysing's 194243 Advent pastoral letters on the nature of human rights reflected the Confessing Church's Barmen Declaration, and one was read by the BBC's German service. [132] By mid-November, nine squadrons were available, but only one was equipped with Beaufighters (No. This event set off a hunt for potential conspirators which intimidated the opposition and made further action more difficult. He formally accused those responsible for the murders in a letter to the public prosecutor. The junction in the Prague suburb of Libe was well suited for the attack because motorists have to slow for a hairpin bend. Of greater potential was the GL (Gunlaying) radar and searchlights with fighter direction from RAF fighter control rooms to begin a GCI system (Ground Control-led Interception) under Group-level control (No. However, the Gestapo did not have information about the full workings of the resistance.

Powder, explosives, a battery and detonators filled the false bottom of his wooden suitcase. [291] He did not identify the Nazis in his wartime condemnations of racism and genocide; although he was praised by world leaders and Jewish groups after his death in 1958 for saving the lives of thousands of Jews, the fact that he did not specifically condemn what was later called the Holocaust has tarnished his legacy. Morrison warned that he could not counter the Communist unrest unless provision of shelters were made. The Germans conducted mass air attacks against industrial targets, towns, and cities, beginning with raids on London towards the end of the Battle of Britain in 1940 (a battle for daylight air superiority between the Luftwaffe and the Royal Air Force over the United Kingdom). [48] The Cologne Bishops Conference condemned Nazism in early 1931, followed by the bishops of Paderborn and Freiburg. [246], Christian worker activist and Centre Party politician Otto Mller argued for firm opposition by the German bishops to Nazi legal violations. [240] When Myron Charles Taylor urged him to condemn Nazi atrocities, he "obliquely referred to the evils of modern warfare". The attack was poorly organised and most of the Baum group was arrested. But as the journalism we do is costly, we invite readers for whom The Times of Israel has become important to help support our work by joining The Times of Israel Community. [34], While Gring was optimistic the Luftwaffe could prevail, Hitler was not. The Germans conducted mass air attacks against industrial targets, towns, and cities, beginning with raids on London towards the end of Christoph Thurner "The CASSIA Spy Ring in World War II Austria: A History of the OSS's Maier-Messner Group" (2017), p. 35. In 1940, the Nazis began gathering dissident priests in a dedicated barracks at Dachau concentration camp; ninety-five percent of its 2,720 inmates were Catholic (mostly Poles, and 411 Germans), and 1,034 died there. In March, Pius XI issued the encyclical Mit brennender Sorge ("With burning concern"). Authorities provided stoves and bathrooms and canteen trains provided food. [178] In January 1943, the fifth pamphlet was published; titled "A Call to All Germans!" A member of the commission which prepared Mit brennender Sorge, he tried to block the closure of Catholic schools and arrest of church officials. More might have been achieved had OKL exploited the vulnerability of British sea communications. Seeschlange would be carried out by Fliegerkorps X (10th Air Corps) which concentrated on mining operations against shipping. [140][failed verification] Altogether, 130 German bombers destroyed the historical centre of London. Operation Valkyrie could only be put into effect by General Friedrich Fromm, commander of the Reserve Army, so he had to be won over to the conspiracy or in some way neutralised if the plan was to succeed. [51], Based in part on the experience of German bombing in the First World War, politicians feared mass psychological trauma from aerial attacks and the collapse of civil society. (Eds.) The next day, Elser was transferred by car to Munich Gestapo Headquarters. The July 1933 Concordat between Germany and the Holy See ended any possibility of systematic resistance by the Catholic Church. On Habsburg and the diversity of religions: Pieter M. Judson "The Habsburg Empire. London: Aurum Press. The bishops saw a 30 May 1933 draft as they assembled for a joint meeting of the Fulda (led by Breslau's Cardinal Bertram) and Bavarian conferences (led by Munich's Michael von Faulhaber). [103] Religious motivations were particularly strong in the Kreisau Circle of the Resistance. A strong dollar buys more shekels, creating investment opportunities in Israel, explains IsraTransfer CEO Doron Seitz. [16] A breakthrough to a positive way of looking at Elser came with the publication of a biography by Hellmut G. Haasis in 1999[17][pageneeded] followed by an expanded and revised edition in 2009. German intelligence suggested Fighter Command was weakening, and an attack on London would force it into a final battle of annihilation while compelling the British Government to surrender. [120] Pacelli became the Vatican Secretary of State responsible for the church's global foreign policy in February 1930, and continued working toward the "great goal" of a treaty with Germany. They wanted him to confess to some kind of connection, however vague, to Otto Strasser. [48], In 1937 the Committee on Imperial Defence estimated that an attack of 60 days would result in 600,000 dead and 1.2million wounded. [243] The raid was a serious blow to the resistance, and Hans Bernd Gisevius replaced Mller. In January 1941, Fighter Command flew 486 sorties against 1,965 made by the Germans. Ten defendants, led by Adolf Hitler and other Nazi party members, gathered in a packed Munich courtroom on February 26, 1924, to begin their trial for high treason. [126] When in 1937 the authorities in Upper Bavaria attempted to replace Catholic schools with "common schools", he offered fierce resistance. While Hess and Hitler were imprisoned after the Munich Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, Haushofer spent six hours visiting the two, bringing along a copy of Friedrich Ratzel's Political Geography and Clausewitz's On War. [190] In other cities, class divisions became more evident. He set the movement's violent tone early, forming the paramilitary Sturmabteilung (SA). The Blitz was a German bombing campaign against the United Kingdom in 1940 and 1941, during the Second World War.The term was first used by the British press and originated from the term Blitzkrieg, the German word meaning 'lightning war'.. It was faster, able to catch the bombers and its configuration of four machine guns in a turret could (much like German night fighters in 19431945 with Schrge Musik) engage the German bomber from beneath. Hundreds of priests and members of monastic orders were sent to concentration camps, but only one German Catholic bishop was briefly interned and another expelled from his diocese. [9] Bombing failed to demoralise the British into surrender or do much damage to the war economy; eight months of bombing never seriously hampered British war production, which continued to increase. Hansjakob Stehle "Die Spione aus dem Pfarrhaus (German: The spy from the rectory)" In: Die Zeit, 5 January 1996. 5193 from, Peter Hoffmann "The German Resistance and the Holocaust" pp. Because Nazi Germany inherited the Weimar system of organised relief, "each religious group was responsible for its own, and taxes were distributed accordingly". For example, in a People's Court ("Volksgerichtshof") trial in Vienna, an old, seriously ill and frail woman was sentenced to 4 years in prison for possessing a self-written note found in her wallet with the rhymed text "Wir wollen einen Kaiser von Gottesgnaden und keinen Blutmrder aus Berchtesgaden. In 1954, SS-Oberscharfhrer Theodor Bongartz, the man in charge of the crematorium at Dachau, was determined to have been the murderer of Georg Elser, during a German court proceeding in which SS-Unterscharfhrer Edgar Stiller was on trial as an accessory to murder. [2] Mary Fulbrook wrote that when politics encroached on the church, Catholics were prepared to resist; the record was patchy and uneven, though, and (with notable exceptions) "it seems that, for many Germans, adherence to the Christian faith proved compatible with at least passive acquiescence in, if not active support for, the Nazi dictatorship". [164] By 1939, all Catholic schools had been closed or converted to public facilities. Some children were chosen for Germanization, and 81 were murdered in gas vans at the Chemno extermination camp. In his 1947 book, To The Bitter End, Hans Bernd Gisevius commented on the order: When the Gestapo men killed on their own account or on the direct orders of Himmler, they did not require such complicated instructions and Hitler's orders for the liquidation of unwanted persons were not usually phrased in so tactful a manner (With his own end in sight) Hitler suddenly recalled the existence of 'the Zither player'; and fearfully, as if possessed by a sudden and inexplicable shame, this murderer of millions attempted to conceal his execution of an assassin who had long since been forgotten by the world public.[12]. The story of Elser is commemorated in the 1989 film Seven Minutes (German: Georg Elser Einer aus Deutschland) directed by Klaus Maria Brandauer, and the 2015 film 13 Minutes (German: Elser), directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel. Since the Foreign Office was a stronghold of resistance activists, it was not difficult for the conspirators to reach the Allies via diplomats in neutral countries. Kurt Huber, a professor of philosophy and musicology, Alexander Schmorell, and Willi Graf stood trial later and were sentenced to death as well, while many others were sentenced to prison terms. I thought it possible that the Black Front organization of Otto Strasser might have something to do with the matter and that the British Secret Service might also be involved. Baranowski, Shelley. The very slow playing of "Deutschland ber alles" ended the solemn ceremony. Roland Freisler (30 October 1893 3 February 1945), a German Nazi jurist, judge, and politician, served as the State Secretary of the Reich Ministry of Justice from 1934 to 1942 and as President of the People's Court from 1942 to 1945.. As a prominent ideologist of Nazism, he influenced the Nazification of Germany's legal system as a jurist. In Vienna, Prague and many other places troops occupied Nazi Party offices and arrested Gauleiters and SS officers. The light guns, about half of which were of the excellent Bofors 40 mm, dealt with aircraft only up to 6,000ft (1,800m). 78, Peter Hoffmann; The History of the German Resistance 19331945; 3rd Edn (First English Edn); McDonald & Jane's; London; 1977; p. 25, Anton Gill; An Honourable Defeat; A History of the German Resistance to Hitler; Heinemann; London; 1994; p. xiv, Peter Hoffmann; The History of the German Resistance 19331945; 3rd Edn (First English Edn); McDonald & Jane's; London; 1977; p. 29, Peter Hoffmann; The History of the German Resistance 19331945; 3rd Edn (First English Edn); McDonald & Jane's; London; 1977; pp. [193] Pius XII issued his Mystici corporis Christi encyclical in 1943, condemning the murder of disabled people. [155] Other sources point out that half of the 144 berths in the port were rendered unusable and cargo unloading capability was reduced by 75 percent. 26th February 1924: Hitlers trial for his part in the Munich Putsch began. The rate of civilian housing loss was averaging 40,000 people per week dehoused in September 1940. He stayed until midnight before going back to his lodging. [76] Before the war, civilians were issued with 50million respirators (gas masks) in case bombardment with gas began before evacuation. At the same time Oster warned the Dutch and the Belgians that Hitler was about to attack themhis warnings were not believed. On 17 September he postponed Operation Sea Lion (as it turned out, indefinitely) rather than gamble Germany's newly gained military prestige on a risky cross-Channel operation, particularly in the face of a sceptical Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union. Moreover, bombers had four to five crewmen on board, representing a greater loss of manpower. Had Hitler still been speaking, the bomb almost certainly would have killed him. [citation needed] Photos of two British SIS officers, Richard Henry Stevens and Sigismund Payne Best, captured in the Venlo Incident on 9 November 1939, shared the front page of Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung with a photo of Georg Elser.[7]. Full member Area of expertise Affiliation; Stefan Barth: Medical Biotechnology & Immunotherapy Research Unit: Chemical & Systems Biology, Department of Integrative Biomedical Sciences [304][305] The draft of the proposed encyclical Humani generis unitas (On the Unity of Human Society), ready in September 1938,[306] was not forwarded to the Vatican by Superior General of the Society of Jesus Wlodimir Ledchowski. [190] With the programme public knowledge, nurses and staff (particularly in Catholic institutions) tried to obstruct its implementation. In its political plans for the future shape of Austria, the group was non-partisan and had contacts with all parties of the pre-war period. I request you therefore, when such an occasion arises to liquidate 'Eller' as discreetly as possible. The signature on the order was illegible, according to Best.[11]. "[64] Anti-Nazi sentiment grew in Catholic circles as the government increased its repression. So a lot of Jews were beat up the night of the Putsch. [119], British night air defences were in a poor state. Bombing civilians would cause a collapse of morale and a loss of production in the remaining factories. [58] His Ministry of Propaganda pressured the churches to voice support for World War II, and the Gestapo banned church meetings for several weeks. [3] When Galen delivered his 1941 denunciations of Nazi euthanasia and Gestapo lawlessness, he also said that the church had never sought to overthrow the government. Then he would comment on his reconstructed model in detail and with great enthusiasm. [1][3], In August 1932, Elser returned to Knigsbronn after receiving a call for help from his mother. In the Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany, as in the annexed regions of Slovenia and Austria, Nazi persecution of the church was intense; many Polish clergy were targeted for extermination. Airfields became water-logged and the 18 Kampfgruppen (bomber groups) of the Luftwaffe's Kampfgeschwadern (bomber wings) were relocated to Germany for rest and re-equipment. The estimate of tonnes of bombs an enemy could drop per day grew as aircraft technology advanced, from 75 in 1922, to 150 in 1934, to 644 in 1937. In Portsmouth Southsea and Gosport waves of 150 bombers destroyed vast swaths of the city with 40,000 incendiaries. [105] The churches challenged Nazi efforts to undermine various Christian institutions, practices and beliefs and Bullock wrote that "among the most courageous demonstrations of opposition during the war were the sermons preached by the Catholic Bishop of Mnster and the Protestant Pastor, Dr Niemoller" but that nevertheless, "Neither the Catholic Church nor the Evangelical Church as institutions, felt it possible to take up an attitude of open opposition to the regime". It provided a guide as to the best areas for expansion, and could make expansion safe, whereas projected military or commercial power could not. Still, in February 1941, there remained only seven squadrons with 87 pilots, under half the required strength. Several officers were killed, but Hitler was only wounded. Edgar Jones, et al.
