Donald asks…

Is there some morbid connection between piano wire and WW2?

In an episode of the Fawlty Towers Basil keeps unintentionally offending his German guests and he says…. “the warning that trespassers will be, um, tied up with piano wire.”

reference ?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Actually, yes. There were numerous occasions when piano wire was used to strangle/hang dissidents.

It was also used in setting up ambushes — i.e. String the wire across the road, as a garrote, etc .

This site is a little gruesome, but it shows a gallows that used piano wire in one of the camps:

But probably the most famous is the von Stauffenberg conspirators. Some were hanged with piano wire.

EDIT: Here are a few others I’ve been able to find for you:

I’ve also always heard that Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor who spoke out against the Nazis, was hanged with piano wire — or at least in the same place where that was common. Wiki refers to it, I’ve included it, but it’s not a reliable source so please remember that.

Mary asks…

Did the americans ever try to assassinate Hitler?

why was the attempt, if any, unsuccesful? what went wrong? thanks.

weight loss cardiff answers:

No. The Americans never attempt this task.

However, there was a story of Churchill ask Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck to do this before WWII.

The only attmpt was the German Resistance. They were alone. It start by General Obst of the Abwehr with Admiral Canarias and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The actual task was carryout by Klaus Graf von Stauffenberg.

Michael asks…

Did the Christian religion support Adolf Hitler/ Nazi Regime?

Did the Christian religion/ Christian churches in Germany support Adolf Hitler’s actions and propaganda during his gain of power.
I’m a history buff and like to just know the straight facts. I have actually looked around myself on Google but can’t find anything.
Naturally this is something they put in the textbooks in schools and colleges.

If you can give any info or insight please tell me your source.
Thanks in advance.
*****Naturally this is something they DON’T put in the textbooks in schools and colleges.

weight loss cardiff answers:

There is no such thing, in historical terms, as “the” Christian religion. There are many diverse and distinct Christian movements, institutions, and churches, especially in the modern era. There were many different responses to Nazism by different kinds of Christians.

Most favorable to the Nazis was the movement they called the “German Christians.” This was basically Christianity reinterpreted to fit Hitler’s nationalistic and racist worldview, and had the official support of the state.

The Roman Catholic church took a cautious approach. The pope kept a bit of distance from actually endorsing Hitler, but refrained from condemning Nazism and apparently collaborated with the Nazis to some extent. This was for two reasons. One was fear that outright criticism would mean harsh persecution of Catholics, and would get them sent to concentration camps. The other was fear of communism; there had been very serious attempts to launch Russian-style communist revolutions all across Europe in the 1920s, and communism was officially and militantly atheist. The fascists and the nazis presented themselves as the enemies of communism and thus the church favored them.

Some Christians actively opposed Nazism in Germany. Catholic priests who criticized Hitler were sent to concentration camps. In Munich, there was a student movement called the White Rose opposed to the Nazis, whose members were religiously motivated (they were eventually executed). The theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer was executed for his involvement with a resistance group that tried to assassinate Hitler, though he himself was not part of the assassination plot.

And all of this IS in textbooks, by the way. You just have to actually do some reading.

Mark asks…

Why was Dietrich Bonhoeffer initially only in prison for a few weeks?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Possibly.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church strongly believes that Jesus is God (John 1:1-3,14). He is the MESSIAH. He is the Savior.

Isaiah 7:14 prophesied the Virgin Birth of Christ our Savior. Indeed he is the Messiah. He will return with power in glory at the end of time as he has promised(Acts 1:9-11).

This is a fact, not fiction. Beware of false teachers that tell you otherwise. Beware of those who deny the deity of Christ. Jesus died on the Cross for the Sins of the World(John 3:16). Jesus is God(John 1:1-3). He was one with God the Father in the Creation of the World (Genesis 1:1).

Special note to all Jews, Atheists and Agnostics:

According to the 19th century Scholar Henry Liddon, Jesus fulfilled to the letter no fewer than 332 Old Testament Prophecies. 29 Messianic Prophecies were fulfilled in the final 24 hours of his life alone.

Donald asks…

German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer participated in a conspiracy to assassinate Hitler …?

Although the conspiracy failed and he was executed for making the effort, do you think Bonhoeffer was right in his attempts to kill Hitler? If you had been Bonhoeffer, would you have participated in this murder conspiracy? Why or why not’

weight loss cardiff answers:

I’m not sure if how active Bonhoeffer was in this plot, but he definitely disapproved of hitler. In any case, I/m sure the right thing to do is imprison anyone like hitler. If imprisonment is impossible, I’d have to say killing someone like that is the right thing to do! People may argue against capital punishment, but when killing the killer is the only way to stop the death of millions, it sure seems like the right thing to do.
