Refuting Nazi Connections and Other Modern Myths, Third Edition

Written by Uwe Siemon-Netto

Did Martin Luther sow the seeds of Adolf Hitler’s homicidal utopianism? Along with journalist William Shirer, a number of scholars think so. Quite the contrary argues Uwe Siemon-Netto, a Lutheran journalist, who refutes this cliché in his book with empirical evidence.

More than six decades ago, thousands of Germans were put to death for their attempt to overthrow the National Socialist tyranny. Among them were Lutherans Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Carl Friedrich Goerdeler. This study will show that both men acted in accordance with Martin Luther's teachings on resisting secular authority with moral courage and fortitude—in contrast with modern myths about Luther’s influence on the Third Reich.
