Dietrich Bonhoeffer: The Martyr of Flossenbürg
On April 9, 1945—just three weeks before Hitler's suicide and shortly before the end of the war in Europe—Dietrich Bonhoeffer was executed at the Flossenbürg concentration camp. He was stripped naked and led to the gallows in a final act of humiliation that only served to highlight his spiritual stature.

The camp doctor, who witnessed the execution, later recounted: “I saw Pastor Bonhoeffer kneeling in deep supplication to his God. The nature of this man's prayer, so worthy of love, moved me deeply… In the almost fifty years I have worked as a doctor, I have never seen a man die so surrendered to the will of God.”
