Hitler and the Catholic Church 1933-37

Explaining History - A podcast by Nick Shepley

In 1933, as Hitler consolidated his power, he signed an agreement or 'concordat' with the Catholic Church, removing the power of the Papacy from German politics. Within months, however, the deal was abandoned and persecution of the church began. This podcast explores the reasons for the Nazis betrayal of the church. Hosted on Acast.
