Niemoeller is being charged for using his pulpit for political purposes, inciting the public to disobedience to the state, and making malicious attacks on the Nazi party.

Having thus from his pulpit addressed his congregation in Woodstock, Va. one January Sunday in 1776, John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg flung wide his Lutheran minister's gown, revealed himself in the uniform of a colonel of the Continental Army. The congregation cheered. That day Pastor Muhlenberg gained 300 recruits to his 8th Virginia regiment, called "the German regiment" and a model of efficiency.
