German Christians
The
Deutsche Christen
were a
pressure group
and movement within German
Protestantism
aligned towards the
antisemitic
and
Führerprinzip
ideological principles of
Nazism
with the goal to
align German Protestantism as a whole towards those principles
. Their advocacy of these principles led to a
schism
within 23 of the initially 28
regional church bodies (Landeskirchen)
in
Germany
and the attendant foundation of the
Confessing Church
.
