About this listen

In 1934, the Baptist World Alliance had their Congress in Berlin at the exact time that Adolf Hitler was elevated from Chancellor to Fuhrer. As the Nazis had official positions on religious practice, the Baptists took the opportunity to have meetings with Hitler and Reichsbishop Ludwig Müller. Representatives of the Southern Baptist Convention, Northern Baptist Convention, and Baptist Union of Great Britain sought to discuss religion with Hitler, and influence antisemitism and nationalism with German Baptists.
