Nazis ban Catholic veterans amid anti Catholic crackdown
In Bralin, July 23, veterans of Germany's wartime Imperial arms faced a Nazi ban. The Federal League of Catholic Front Fighters, an organization of Catholic war veterans numbering several thousand, was dissolved by Prussian Premier Hermann Wilhelm Goering for disturbing public unity. Antisemitic measures continued as Jewish employers must be represented by Aryan lawyers in labor disputes. The Berlin Catholic Church hierarchy criticized Goering's decree against political Catholicism, while police seized on alleged Aryan relationships. Public demonstrations followed rumors of intermarriage. Jews faced further arrests, with coverage emphasizing crimes involving Jews.
