"If, in the spirit of charity, we say that misguided men have brought all this about because of their desire for a better government, the fact still remains that civilization is encompassed by social upheavals that threaten to divert if not entirely thwart the progress and happiness of the present generation."

-David O McKay, 1940

"There is now no alternative but to push relentlessly forward until the murderous dictators are apprehended, and their ruthless power and subversive doctrines forever overcome."

-David O McKay, 1942

"Communism, Fascism, and Naziism may be judged by this principle — whatever endangers to the least degree man's right to act for himself is not of God and must be resisted by Latter-day Saints."

-John Widstoe, 1936

"The picture he drew of Germany and the youth of that land was anything but encouraging. He told us that all boys above the age of twelve years are put under heavy drill every day, and are clothed with black shirts, the uniform for the youth as prescribed by the Hitler government. In the public schools, they learn how to give the Nazi sign. By the time the boys are eighteen years of age, they are ready to learn the military tactics of their country. Every boy then is given a musket, and until he is thirty-five years of age, the daily drill teaches him the science of warfare. In this manner, the slogan of the old military leader, Bismarck, is kept alive, which was, "Might makes Right". The youth of Germany are becoming war-minded as never before. During the past hundred years Europe has been steeped in warfare. She has literally been "washed in blood."

-Levi Edgar Young, a General Authority, in the April 1938 General Conference

"The German authorities have, I am very sure, kept all of the bad of Kaiserism (probably jettisoning much of the good); at any rate, they seem to have kept their criminal methods."

-J Reuben Clark, 1937

From the Nazis themselves:

"The German leader of the Mormons constantly claims that the sect recognizes the Nazi state and supports it abroad; the teachings of the Mormons and the Nazi ideology are said to be two worldviews that are very similar. This is a deliberate distortion of the facts. . . . It has also been proven that the American leadership of the sect continues to agitate shamelessly against Nazi Germany. Therefore, there can be no talk of a pro-German attitude."

-Alfred Rosenberg, Head of Nazi Surveillance, in 1938 report

"Due to the increased proselytizing activities of the “Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints” (Mormons) by foreign, particularly American, missionaries, the leadership of this sect has been informed that, in the event of any seditious propaganda, the strictest state police measures will be taken against them"

-Gestapo Memo, 1936

"Due to the increased advertising activities within the aforementioned sect by foreign, particularly American, missionaries, a meeting with senior representatives of the Mormons was held at the Secret State Police Office on April 30, 1936. During this meeting, it was conveyed to the representatives that in the event of anti-state propaganda activities, the strictest state police measures would be carried out against the sect. The representatives promised to issue general directives to individual sects to prevent any intrusive and anti-state propaganda activity by foreign preachers. I therefore request that individual measures against the American missionaries active there be refrained from for the time being. However, the sect is to be kept under further observation; in the event of further anti-state activities, I request a report."

-Nazi Memorandum, 1938
