Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg

Oh yes? The Pope should knew it at that time

Threats from Bolshevism!

He is very clear, our war is justice

He always sorrow for his own fate

but in the East line of the Battle field,

Jesus Christ decides the future on his own

Please take a look at this artifact!

Please look carefully!

Our soldier saved it.

They discovered that it is being used

by the Russian Moscow.

Area administrator as a stepping-stone.

Bolshevik changed the church of Russia

into Factories and Jail.

They have no concern in destroying

the Christian and their precious artifacts.

People serving god has been

tortured, killed, and expelled.

All these are Catholic sacrifice

under Bolshevism.

These are your brothers!

Look at the small cross on the corpses.

All these happened

just one year ago.

Can you imagine,

can we make such rude crime?

In Dachau's camp, they'll only sentence

the priest into the cremation field

people often see some priest lying

among the corpse and still alive

but they still got executed

Nazi think this is useful, people can

be forgive during the way to the heaven

Mr. Kremer

You and I are mentally brothers.

Your mother realized this and she is surprised

that sacred statue has been damaged like this

She is a true believer,

she believes you

She believes that the coorpration between

Catholic and the Thrid emporer

is specially important.

You can't resist this!

what do you want from me?

From a priest pig coming from the church!

The German cardinal already

kissed the Hitler's feet.

Catholic will be very important after the battle

in Europe but the disappointed thing is...

The Priest League like this

will not exist anymore.

Mr. Gebhardt,

have you ever think once?

What will happen if the war failed?

This is our war, Mr. Kremer.

This is a Crusade.

We have to keep praying,

use weapon to arm our soldiers.

Otherwise, what covering us will only be chaos

I pray for the brothers of my inside

the prison camps

for my family, for Luxembourg. German has a great

interest in the conversation with Vatican Pope.

Think and respect

to the Luxembourg's wills.

It's just your cardinal pope declined -

you want me to disobey the cardinal pope?

no, we just hope you can make

him regain his rationality

and also the bell from the great church.

He does not do any good things for Luxembourg.

He just holds the abolished policies in hands.

For example:
Heydrich.

But there is another activity

going in our party.

Church will be kept as people

wished and find a new way

In Russian, they need missionary,

to preach to the people there

Please sit down, we can have a good talk about
