In a Buzz Flash Guest Contribution Ray McGovern, a former intelligence official, asks:

Where do American religious leaders stand on torture? Their deafening silence evokes memories of the unconscionable behavior of German church leaders in the 1930s and early 1940s.

I'm sure that the Christians whose silence is deafening on torture will be quick to label McGovern's analogy to Nazi Germany extreme.

So would the German church leaders in the 1930s and early 1940s.
