Nov 18, 2008 - Great video. God bless this Priest. Requiescat in Pace Christi! However one side-note: the soldiers of the German Empire in World War I were mostly not atheists at all. The French sadly were sometimes, but I do not think German soldiers at that time liked to kill a priest at all. Most were Catholics or Lutherans, some were Jewish (among them maybe some atheists). Even the Kaiser William II was a pious Lutheran man later on at least! Long live a new Catholic Europe, though!
