The Church never supported Adolf Hitler. At the start of his political life the Church tried to reach an accommodation that would allow Catholics to practice their religion. Hitler and his government kept signing agreements with the Vatican and the local Church only to turn right around and ignore them completely, not unlike what some modern presidents of rather well-known superpowers are doing in the 21st century. Although the Church tried hard to protect her people, Hitler would not cooperate at all, he had less than no respect or time for the Catholic Church, and what started out on rocky ground quickly turned very sour. The Catholic Church was hard pressed to protect not only her own members, but others, particularly the Jews and gypsies which the Church worked tirelessly to protect. An uncounted multitude of priests, nuns, sisters, and brothers were sent to the camps and exterminated.
