The greatest boon to Western Civilization and Christianity was the printing press. Finally, people could learn to read and read the Bible for themselves. But these concentration camp Germans knew how to read and could read the Bible. They should know this whole philosophy is anti-Christian.

Like the Army at the time, I find this hard to understand. What the "helll" was preached in these churches?

Not true. There were multiple vernacular versions of the bible before Gutenberg. They had to be guarded so people wouldn’t steal them since they were produced by hand. Even then the vast majority of the population couldn’t read.

You only need to look as far as today’s liberal Christianity. This is why so many Catholics are horrified to see Pope Francis trying to reconcile Catholicism to the liberal churches, instead of our faithful brethren, the Orthodox churches, and the sincerely Christian (if theologically mistaken) conservative Protestant churches.
