Reinventing Protestant Germany. Religious Nationalists and the Contest for Post-Nazi Democracy, Hardback

Brandon Bloch examines the remarkable transformation of German Protestantism after WWII. As avid nationalists and militarists, Protestant leaders had largely backed the Nazi regime. Yet after 1945, they reinvented themselves as champions of constitutional democracy and human rights—while also seeking to whitewash the Church’s past.
