Religion In The Comics - 035

Here are a couple of comics about that devout Christian, Adolf Hitler. IMHO, I think these Christian comics publishers should stay away from the man with the moustache. He couldn't have gotten where he was without the support of the Church.

The first story is from Spire Comics. I have featured them in the past here at RITC. They did some Archie comics and Barney Bear in Toyland. The full comic can be read here: http://flashbak.com/hansi-the-girl-who-loved-the-swastika-the-full-comic-10700/

While Spire Comics is out of business, another publisher has taken up the cause. I mentioned them in last week's installment They are Kingstone. Their books look pretty slick. Here's their website: http://www.kingstonemedia.com/ and here is their Hitler comic:

I like the way they incorporated the swastika in the title.
This was written by Ravi Zacharias. Here's a blurb about what this book is about: After committing suicide in his Berlin bunker, Adolf Hitler has a surprise encounter and conversation with Jesus Christ and Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Ravi has written similar books in which Jesus has conversations with Buddha, Mohammed, and Oscar Wilde. I think this is totally dishonest. None of these men are able to speak for themselves, and must see their thoughts and ideas twisted and distorted by this apologetic. This isn't just a straw man, it's a straw deadman.

and that's "dumb blonde". I think the writer came up with a poor character. She is too quick to jump on board, either with Nazism or religion. Where is the discerning mind?

But not because anybody ordered them...

While there was no doubt that the Luftwaffe pilots gave it their all flying over Soviet airspace and artillery (they lost 500 planes in the effort), management bungled the effort rather spectacularly.

The air command refused to let the army tell it what supplies it should be delivering, and so instead of the usual food, ammunition, and fuel, some ridiculous things were delivered. One of the more normal was a case of fine bottled wine, although the bottles had frozen and exploded in the cold. Other drops included ground pepper, fish meal, and summer clothing.

But the most bewildering thing had to be the shipment on November 19, when a whole lot of condoms were dropped. Perhaps it was a cosmic message about how doomed the trapped soldiers were. Ultimately, the failed supply efforts doomed the 6th Army, and it surrendered to the Soviets in February 1943. From there, the ultimate defeat of the Third Reich was only a matter of time.
