"Should the leader allow himself to succumb to the visions of those he leads, who will always seek to turn him into an idol, then the image of the leader will become the image of the mis-leader. This is the leader who makes an idol of himself and his office and who thus mocks God."
-- Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Germany, February 1, 1933,

The broadcast was delivered 2 days after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor [30Jan33]
