Is it true that the Mormon "Higher Authority" made back door loans to Hitler before World War Two?

Question

Is it true? Can anybody confirm or deny this?

smartsassysabrina, so what your saying is they were Adolf and Eva were baptized by proxy before or after their deaths?

JOHNNY, been there all of my adult life (since the age of accountability).

Answer 1

There is no proof that the Church of Latter Day Saints loaned any money to Hitler, however, there is correspondence between the two which led to Adolf Hitler and Ava Braun baptized in the church by proxy.

Answer 2

That was a resistance movement in Germany associated with a German Mormon named Helmuth Hübener. He headed a group of youth resisters. Before the war, church leaders told the Mormons to obey the German government. However, the Mormons already planned to support Hitler and were hoping to demonstrate similarities between Nazism and Mormonism. Hübener may have started out as a follower of Hitler, but when he came upon the truth, it changed him forever. Hübener had access to a radio that occasionally picked up the BBC news broadcasts in German from London, even though that was one of the stations the Nazis tried to block. As Hübener listened to the radio, he thought that the German “news reports sounded like a lot of boasting, a lot of propaganda”. After he concluded that the British were the ones who were telling the truth and he heard about the treatment of Russian POWs, Hübener decided to join the resistance movement. Helmuth was an example of a youth who was encouraged to follow Hitler but discovered the truth and joined the resistance.

Answer 3

I have never heard of this before. I kind of wonder, why would Hitler be getting loans before WWII. Germany was turning into a super-power at that time. Of course, in the early 30's it was pretty rough. Also, what was in it for the Mormons. There would have been lots of places to loan money inside the US that would have been safer loans.

Until someone can show proof of this, I will call it a conspiracy theory.

Answer 4

You must be thinking of Joseph Kennedy. During the Spanish Civil War, Kennedy helped persuade Roosevelt to keep America out of the conflict, emphasizing that the American Roman Catholic community was heavily Democratic and sympathized with the nationalist forces of Francisco Franco against the left-wing in Spain. he supported Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement. Shortly before the Nazi aerial bombing of British cities began in September 1940, Kennedy sought a personal meeting with Hitler, again without State Department approval, "to bring about a better understanding between the United States and Germany." Kennedy argued strongly against giving aid to Britain.

The 1930's was the middle of the depression for the Latter-Day Saints. They has all they could do to support the welfare of members and keep the church solvent.

Answer 5

No
Maybe you should ask Soros he work for the Nazis in WWII and gave the notices to Jewish families to board the death trains.

Answer 6

wouldnt be a suprise

mormons have been racist for most of thier existance

it wasnt untill 1978 that they allowed blacks into any positions of authority in the "church"

Answer 7

Probably, they were racists until recently (after the civil-rights movement success). I guess their god was wrong before public opinion changed, probably bad for business.

Answer 8

You are treading on edge of the cliff.

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

no
