Dear Party Comrade Bormann,
Enclosed I am sending you a summarized overview of the confessional ties and ecclesiastical connections of the clique of conspirators from the 20th of July.

Subject: 20 July 1944
The Confessional Ties and Ecclesiastical Connections of the Conspirator Clique.
In the investigations into the events of 20 July 1944, it has repeatedly emerged that confessional ties and ecclesiastical connections played a significant role in the conspirator clique.
1. A portion of the individuals who had to be included in the investigation stated that they were devout Christians of the Protestant or Catholic faith.
2. Another portion held firmly to traditional ties of a Christian-ecclesiastical nature.
3. A considerable number of those involved on 20 July came from the political work of Catholicism (Catholic Action, the Centre Party, Christian trade unions) or were part of the Confessing Church.
4. Despite the diversity of the individualsโ relationships with Christianity and the Church, these confessional ties determined their attitude towards National Socialism, at least to the extent that they approached National Socialism with reservations, criticism, or outright rejection.
5. Despite all the differences and contradictions encountered within the broader circle of conspirators, there was a certain agreement that Christianity should provide the moral foundation of the state, although it was left open as to whether Christianity might eventually be replaced by another stable world order.
6. Many efforts were directed towards strengthening the non-National Socialist state through the influence of the Churches over the people and providing the Churches with every opportunity to develop in religious and charitable terms.
7. Within the individual groups, there were strong disputes over whether the new state should be proclaimed as Christian in such a way as to conduct explicitly Christian policies.
