Paul Tillich's
Voice of America in Germany, 1942-1945
Typescript
|
- Paul Tillich, German theologian and chaplain to the German army in World War I, emigrated
from Germany in 1933, as Nazi ideologies became prominent.
- Shortly after the United States joined the Allied effort in 1941, the U.S. Office of War
Information asked Tillich to write Voice of America addresses to the German
people. More than
one hundred of Tillich's drafted addresses were broadcast to the German people between 1942
and 1945 urging Germans to recognize the injustice and cruelty of Hitler's regime and the need for
the "True Germany" to resist him.
