Der Spiegel magazine had a piece last spring about a 70 year old
church in Berlin that was in need of some renovation and financing.
Nothing too extraordinary about that, except that this was Germany's
only remaining
"Nazi-era church."
The piece, by David Crossland, described the "Martin Luther Memorial Church" in vivid terms, noting the black Iron Cross chandelier, and that "The pulpit has a wooden carving of a muscular Jesus leading a helmeted Wehrmacht soldier and surrounded by an Aryan family. The baptismal font is guarded by a wooden statue of a stormtrooper from Adolf Hitler's paramilitary Sturmabteilung (SA) unit clutching his cap."
