NAZI REPULSE
VICTORY FOR CHURCH IN GERMANY
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright BERLIN, October 31
Protestants throughout Germany today celebrated Herr Hitler’s capitulation, with the fervour of early Lutheran Christians.
Long white flags, bearing purple Crosses, with the German Evangelical Church’s banner again flew in Berlin streets instead of the Nazi Swastikas, which Bishop Mueller had ordered to replace them, while throughout the country followers of the 7000 pastors who had defied Dr Ludwig Mueller, Reichbishop of Germany, met in public halls to celebrate simultaneously the end of the persecution and the anniversary of the Reformation.
Their former churches are still closed to them, but it is only a matter of days before the “rebel pastors” regain control of the churches and organisation.
Bishop Restored
Dr Numoiller, addressing 4000 Protestants in the Berlin theatre, said that Bishop Meiser and Bishop Wurm would be restored to office to-morrow.
