Shaken by military defeat and economic depression after War World I, Germans sought to restore their nation s dignity and power. In this context the National Socialist Party, with its promise of a revivified Germany, drew supporters. Among the most zealous were a number of Catholic clergymen known as \u201cbrown priests\u201d who volunteered as Nazi propagandists. In this insightful study, Spicer unearths a dark subchapter in Roman Catholic history, introduces the principal clergymen who participated in the Nazi movement, examines their motives, details their advocacy of National Socialism, and explores the consequences of their political activism.
Some brown priests, particularly war veterans, advocated National Socialism because it appealed to their patriotic ardor. Others had less laudatory motives: disaffection with clerical life, conflicts with Church superiors, or ambition for personal power and fame. Whatever their individual motives, they employed their skills as orators, writers, and teachers to proclaim the message of Nazism. Especially during the early 1930s, when the Church forbade membership in the party, these clergymen strove to prove that Catholicism was compatible with National Socialism, thereby justifying their support of Nazi ideology. Father Dr. Philipp Haeuser, a scholar and pastor, went so far as to promote antisemitism while deifying Adolf Hitler. The F\u00fchrer s antisemitism, Spicer argues, did not deter clergymen such as Haeuser because, although the Church officially rejected the Nazis extreme racism, Catholic teachings tolerated hostility toward Jews by blaming them for Christ s crucifixion. While a handful of brown priests enjoyed the forbearance of their bishops, others endured reprimand or even dismissal; a few found new vocations with the Third Reich. After the fall of the Reich, the most visible brown priests faced trial for their part in the crimes of National Socialism, a movement they had once so earnestly supported. In addition to this intriguing history about clergymen trying to reconcile faith and politics, Spicer provides a master list--verified by extensive research in Church and government archives--of Catholic clergy who publicly supported National Socialism.Binding Type: Paperback

So easy a caveman can do it
Size: 32.8ft, Size: 32.8ft
Installation was easy and not complicated at all. The app lets you decide the mood you want the house in or wherever you choose to install it. I placed it under my island in the kitchen. It is perfection. No remote control. Very durable. Super bright. You can even turn it down a few notches but that's through the app with easy follow instructions.

Work just fine as long as you’re careful!
I don’t often write reviews, but I thought it could be helpful information since I’ve been through a few sets of these lights.
Pros:
- Good, easy to use app
- Bright, responsive lights
- Great customer service
- Low price, especially for the length
Cons:
- Fairly easy to tear/break
- Cannot use solderless connectors to navigate corners (to my understanding)
- Hit or miss functionality
- Not Alexa compatible (which is stated in description)
I’ve purchased three sets of these lights, ultimately they are good you just have to be careful.
1. The first one worked ok for a while, but they stopped working, presumably, after my cat bit part of it
2. I ordered another set since they had been working fine until my cat got to it. When I received this one, it was clearly not programmed correctly or there was some other technical issue with it as it would not respond to the app, though the app would say it was connected and would flash random colors in random different sections. I contacted customer service who walked me through some troubleshooting and ultimately sent me a new set, which arrived very quickly, which was greatly appreciated.
3. The third set arrived and seemed to function just fine. After installing them in the same way that I had installed the first set of lights, they soon ended up tearing at a turn point (I used their suggested technique for navigating corners) and no longer worked past that section. I tried to find any solderless connectors that I could use (now that I had at least two sets of partially working lights) however I could not find any that would be compatible (which makes sense given these are RBGIC lights and Govee themselves also stated this to be the case)
Ultimately, I don’t think I will buy another set and will probably just spend a little extra for a different set of light strips, likely from the same brand since a different model I’ve used before (TV backlights) has worked well and is Alexa compatible. Plus, Govee’s app is easy to use and has a nice UI.

High Quality Product, especially for the low price point
Size: 16.4ft
Very High Quality Strip Lights that can easily be adapted to any environment, fitting in even very small areas. The adhesive material on the back provides strong adhesion to most surfaces, with some common exceptions. They are more than stable in the vast majority of environments, and the remote control, either the provided one or the digital app works extremely easily to provide a good experience. The colors are vibrant and bright and can be controlled or dimmed easily.

Easy to put up and decent quality
Size: 16.4ft
These were actually pretty easy to install - and the cord to plug them in was really long, which is appreciated. I do wish they had more colors to pick from but it’s a great deal for the price.
