The M.R.A. classless society is the answer to the class struggle, he said; Communists see this, and that is why they malign the movement. ... I asked whether Buchman hadn't endorsed Hitler. Howard admitted that he once, naively, had endorsed the German Führer. But he emphasized M.R.A.'s record during the resistance and told me of a secret Gestapo document, 126 pages long, which condemns M.R.A. as being 'a Christian garment to world...
