I was a soldier in the US Army and understand how chaplaincy worked within our Army. One chaplain per battalion, usually a captain/O-2 and then a brigade chaplain who is a Major/O-3. How did the Nazi's have chaplains within their ranks? Was it by battalion? How they fare knowing that Nazi Germany was anti-christian? Were they treated badly by the higher military ranks who were probably brainwashed to hate religion also? Were they officers like in todays militaries? Were soldiers allowed to openly disrespect them because the Nazi's did not care for religion? I know the German military/Wermacht was filled with "normal" Germans, many of them not completely brainwashed that probably believed in religion but what about the SS? Did the SS have chaplains even though the organization was one which brainwashed its members to hate religion?
