I also don't, but it is actually touching one of my old wounds, as you may have noticed. I hate those who taught me to feel superior on grounds that I had no responsibility for, and, after only a little research, proved false anyway. No, I hadn't heard the sacraments version, they tried to tell me that actually the Church was holding out for a better world, supplying thoughts of resistance (may be true for the white rose), supplying an alternate structures in the totalitarian state, helping to smuggle out dissenters including Jews, Gipsies and Slavs (see how false in Das schreckliche Maedchen). In that time of my life the church tried to qualify credible among youth to be a bulwark against the temporary threats of communism, libertarianism and sexual emancipation. Therefore the political running of the 'pure church in Nazi era'-myth. A sacraments version maybe applied to one remote uncle of me, a priest, who had crossed the line of fire near Torun, allegedly to bring the communion to an ill person. He was found shot and depleted of gold. This is a different thing, it runs on a basis of the individual person. It may also be false, I will never know. And don't need to. It seems to be a disturbing fact, though, that one decidedly catholic young man happened to be the chemist to develop Zyklon-B. His story is not totally clear, as I have taken from a newspaper article once, but it seems that his career had previously been hindered because he had once been a member of one of those catholic organizations who were seen as inimical by the Nazi state. The story then goes on that he was given a 'dirty job' as a chance to recover from that career barrier. He was brought to see the earliest gas chambers, in which gasoline-motor exhaust gases were used for the cruel killing. He seems to have protested the cruelty and was given the job to find an "optimal solution" that made killing faster. It seems the man was concerned upon what he had done and looked for a way of redemption, again in his church. As I understand he committed suicide in the end. Very sad post again I fear, MNI.
