Per Wikipedia Joseph Adam Lortz 1887 - 1975 In Luxembourg Was A Roman Catholic Church Historian. He Was A Highly Regarded Reformation Historian And Ecumenist. Beginning In The 1940'S Lortz Made His Ecumenical Views Available To General Readers As Well As To Scholars In Order To Promote Reconciliation Between Catholics And Protestants. His Writings Played A Role In The Thinking That Manifested Itself In The Second Vatican Council's Decree On Ecumenism Unitatis Redintegratio 21 November 1964. What Was Not Widely Known However Was Lortz's Involvement With Nazism From 1933 Until 1937. His Geschichte Der Kirche 1932 History Of The Church Portrayed The Church Of The 1800S And The 1900S As The Bastion Of Divine Truth And Moral Values Amid The Decay Of Western Society. After The War He Taught At The University Of Mainz From 1950 Until His Death In 1975. He Was Also Director Of The Institute Of European History In Mainz In The Department Of Western Religious History. His Successor At That Department Peter Manns De Was The Editor Of A Centennial Volume Of Lortz's Writings Published In 1987 And In His Preface He Touches On Lortz's History With The Nazis. Manns Says That Lortz Attempted To Find A "Legitimate" Way For Catholics To Connect To Nazism An Attempt He Calls An Error With Grave Consequences For Which Lortz Should Be Held Culpable And Manns Includes No Writings From That Period In The Volume. However He Argues That Lortz Was Not A Nazi Himself And That Such Is Proven By His Friendship With Avowed Opponents Of The Nazis Including Clemens August Graf Von Galen And Max Josef Metzger.

Per Wikipedia Ferdynand Goetel 1890 - 1960 Was A Polish Novelist Playwright Essayist Screen Writer And Political Activist; Member Of The Prestigious Polish Academy Of Literature From 1935; President Of The Polish Pen Club As Well As The Union Of Polish Writers In Interwar Poland. He Established A Prominent Place In Polish Literary Circles Between The Wars And Was The Recipient Of The "Golden Laurel" Awarded By The Polish Academy Of Literature For His Contributions To Polish Literature. He Was Forced To Leave Poland After World War Ii Due To His Involvement In The German Investigation Of The Katyn Massacre And Died In Exile In London. He Moved Back To Warsaw In 1912 But Was Arrested And Interned By The Russian Authorities At The Outbreak Of World War I As He Was An Austrian Citizen In Russian-Ruled Poland. The Russian Authorities Sent Him To An Internment Camp At Tashkent In Turkestan Where He Was Put To Work On Road And Bridge Construction. After The Russian Revolution He Served With The Red Army In The Caucasus For A While An Experience He Subsequently Used As The Basis For His 1922 Novel Kar Chat About The Russian Civil War In The Caucasus. In December 1919 With The Situation In Russia Deteriorating And His Newly Married Wife Jadwiga Pregnant He Decided To Make An Escape To Poland. The Journey Took The Couple Fourteen Months Via Persia Afghanistan India And England Before They Arrived Back In The Now Independent Republic Of Poland In January 1921. Goetel's Experiences In Russia Prompted Him To Become A Staunch Anti-Communist. The Events Of His Internment Exile And Escape Were Described In His Memoir Przez Plonacy Wschód Across The Burning East 1923 And In His 1929 Novel From Day To Day About The Russian Internment Camp. He Was Elected President Of The Polish Pen Club From 1926-33 And Also Served As President Of The Trade Union Of Polish Writers. In 1936 He Was Accepted As A Member Of The Polish Academy Of Literature. During The Inter-War Years Goetel Wrote A Number Of Novels And Travel Books That Were Well Received. From Day To Day Was Translated Into A Number Of Languages And Was Filmed By Józef Lejtes. He Also Wrote For The Theatre; His Play Samuel Zborowski About The 1584 Beheading Of Samuel Zborowski Was Performed In Warsaw At Teatr Polski In 1929 With Marian Jednowski In The Title Role And Kazimierz Junosza-Stepowski As King Stefan Batory. Goetel Joined The Polish Resistance Movement Armia Krajowa Ak Or Home Army In World War Ii And Was Temporarily Imprisoned In Pawiak By The Ss. He Has Sometimes Been Described As The Last Victim Of Katyn. He Was Blacklisted In Communist Poland And Driven Out Of The Country In 1945 With An Arrest Warrant Issued Against Him By The Secret Police Because The Germans Arranged For Him To Participate In The Original Katyn Delegation On Behalf Of The Ak And Also Because In His Postwar Writings He Demanded Justice For The Victims Of Katyn. Goetel Was Proposed As A Witness For The Katyn Delegation By Lawyer Ludwig Fischer The German Governor Of Warsaw But Ultimately The Polish Delegation Refused To Help The Nazi Propaganda Efforts Any Further And Secretly Informed The Polish Government-In-Exile About Their Findings. The First Arrest Warrants Against Goetel Were Issued In July 1945. For The Next Several Months He Stayed In Hiding At The Carmelites Convent In Kraków And Then In December 1945 Escaped To Italy On A False Passport. He Joined The Army Of General Anders And At The Conclusion Of World War Ii Went To London. He Lived There Until His Death In 1960. In Exile He Wrote Mostly Memoirs And Fiction Based On His Own Life Experiences. The Viking Press hardcover
