Summary
Five years after his private audience with Hitler in Berlin, the Dean of Chichester, A.S. Duncan-Jones, published a new study of the German Churches under National Socialism with the progressive house of Victor Gollancz. This book, The Struggle for Religious Freedom in Germany, was only in part a survey of events. It had a keen, polemical edge and a vigorous language and was inaugurated with a loud dedication To Grossdeutschland, ‘in the sure confidence that that spirit will one day break the tyranny that oppresses it, and give to mankind the riches that belong to it in the Divine Economy’.1
