      Scholarly study of the Kirchenkampf--the Church Struggle--under the 
Nazi regime, placing it in the context of the historic relations of churches 
to the state in Germany. Helmreich credits the churches as being the only 
institutions which offered any real resistance to Hitler's policies, but 
also notes the many divisions and conflicts within the churches that 
confused or delayed action. Discusses the role of the Catholic church as 
well as that of the many smaller denominations and sects. Extensive 
bibliography. See MADDEN, p. 202. Bound in black cloth over boards with 
gilt-stamped spine lettering. No significant wear to book, no prior
