Скачать или смотреть The Only German Bishop Who Publicly Defied Hitler in His Sermons — The Lion of Münster

In 1941, at the height of Nazi power, when speaking against Hitler meant certain death, one German bishop climbed to his pulpit and did the impossible. Bishop Clemens August von Galen publicly condemned the regime's euthanasia program by name, with Gestapo agents sitting in the pews. What happened next would force Hitler himself to hesitate—something almost no one had ever achieved. This is the story of the only German bishop who defied the Führer and survived, earning the nickname that still echoes today: The Lion of Münster.

Münster, Germany. Summer of 1941. While millions remained silent under totalitarian terror, this Catholic bishop delivered three sermons that would spread across Nazi-occupied Europe despite total media control. He exposed state-sponsored murder, cited German law being broken, and dared the Gestapo to arrest him. Why wasn't he executed like countless others? The answer reveals a hidden vulnerability in Nazi power that changed the course of history—and a story of courage that's been buried for far too long.
