I loved hearing a German Catholic talk about his experiences in WWII
I loved hearing a German Catholic talk about his experiences in WWII. I also was inspired by the tenacity with which he pursued his vocation and clung to his faith and morals in an impossible situation. My father lived through that war as a boy, and I know that no where near all Germans were Nazis. It's nice to hear that from a media source!

The story of Father Goldman is miraculous
The story of Father Goldman is miraculous, the faith of those around me, his faith during such a difficult time. A German catholic in Hitler's army, trully restored my faith that there were so many good men there, eventhough you get one picture of the nazi horrors from history. This is a personal account that is more humane.
