Time to put on your big boy pants.
The so called "Deutsche Christen" (DC) (German Christians) was a NAZI-organisation which tried to overtake the protestants in Germany. As far as I see in the moment this picture shows the "Reichsbischof" (= "bishop of the empire", a title which only existed under Hitler) Ludwig Müller. He gave for examlple the order to integrate the protestant youth organisation (500,000 children) into the HJ (Hitler Youth). He did forbid critics within the own protestant church and so on. The most famous countermovement of the Protestants had been the "Bekennende Kirche" (BK) (= the confessing church). Famous names in this context: Martin Niemöller and Dietrich Bonhoefer.
