The Assassin of Rastenburg was a Papist, Natch

Did you know Claus, Count von Stauffenberg was a devout Catholic? Or that he sought permission from the Archbishop of Berlin before finalizing his plan?

Von Stauffenberg reportedly met with Cardinal Count Preysing of Berlin to discuss this matter, and his eminence honored the motives and offered no theological objection to restrain him. In so doing, Cardinal Preysing placed his own life in jeopardy with the Gestapo, but was never implicated in the plot.

(As an aside, isn't the internet wonderful? You can literally find anything if you're willing to look.) This isn't the point at which I break into a screed against "Hitler's Pope", or other books of its kind, though they're certainly screed-worthy. Just a cool piece of trivia, and I'm passin' it on.
