A text by G. Feder, published in the journal NS Monatsheft in 1930, offered the Nazi version of the trinity: “The trinity of blood, of faith and of the state.” Another quote from an essay by E. Eckert, “Faith in the SA,” summed up faith as Nazi certainty that the führer had “come to us by God’s will.”19 Because Adolf Hitler was the expression of God’s will for Germany, it followed that his Reich was not comparable to other governments.
