“Munich is the most wonderful town, my favourite in all of Europe, and the National Socialists have brought peace to the streets. And yet . . . and yet below the surface I sense a terrible undertow of violence. Do you not feel it?’ I won’t say a word against my city or my country, Mr Gainer.’ ‘No, of course you won’t. My country right or wrong, as an American once said. What I mean is, it’s all this pagan stuff. Munich has some of the most beautiful churches in the world and a fine history of Christendom, but the pagans are winning, and their ways are not ways of kindness and love. I sometimes fear that Germany is in the process of renouncing two thousand years of Christian civilisation. Am I alone in this? Do the ordinary German people not feel it?”
