This quote is significant because it demonstrates just how much the soldiers disliked himmelstoss.

Today, Adolf Hitler is known by many as the epitome of evil, but his followers saw him as equal to God himself. Hitler commandeered control of the suffering nation of Germany and then quietly convinced them that the Jews were to blame for their country’s distress. He spoke so passionately and so eloquently, nearly every German adored him. Even children were taught to pray, “‘Führer, my Führer, by God given to me, Defend and protect me as long as may be.
