priest. He started his career as a priest in 1931 at Badlauterberg. from 1934
he worked at Supplingen, from 1937 at Heiningen. From 1 Aug 1943 he worked at
Gross Dungeon. Gestapo was monitoring him for his inspiring anti
Nazi speeches. Once he repeated a joke that was told to him. By some one..
The joke was... once a seriously wounded soldier was lying in a bed and he
asked the nurse.. look MAdam, who is lying beside me? the nurse placed
portraits of Hitler one side and that of Goering on the other side. The soldier
then said. it is fine. I can die like Jesus Christ happily now..... Gerstapo
arrested him on and he was tortured by all methods to reveal the person who
told him the joke. he never revealed. he was tried at people's court on 15 May
1944 and was sentenced to death on 28 July 1944. He was executed at
Bradenburg.. Goerden prison on 11 sept 1944. ((. When Jesus was crucified two
criminals were nailed one on each side of Jesus. .Gestapo charged that he compared
Hitler and Goering to criminals by telling the joke )
