Bold Pastor Is Jailed War Hero Who Defied Nazis
The Rev. Martin Niemoeller, a bold protestant leader known for opposing Nazi authority, has been jailed on charges of making false statements and disobedience to state institutions. Officials offered no confirmation, but news agencies reported his arrest as church opposition faces government takeovers. Niemoeller, famed for wartime submarine service sinking enemy shipping, had long avoided jail despite repeated police questioning. In Berlin, the Moabit court planned to try Pastor Gerhard Jacobi and others for publicly reading names of those leaving the church, violating a government decree.
