Reichsbischof Ludwig Müller, the blatant German Army chaplain promoted by Adolf Hitler to the post of virtual dictator of German Protestantism (TIME, Oct. 9), denounced foreign Protestant pastors for criticizing his autocratic policies last week, flayed them for "seeing with the eyes of a poorly or falsely informed foreign world."
