The WTBTS makes much of how Witmesses were persecuted in Nazi Germay, but how many know that they claimed compensation for it, and lied?
In a letter to Adolf Hitler the WT claimed,
"Dear Reichskanzler, … The Brooklyn headquarter of the Watchtower Society is pro German in an exemplary way and has been so for many years. For that reason, in 1918, the president of the Society and seven members of the board of directors were sentenced to 80 years in prison, because the president refused to use two of the magazines published in America under his direction for war propaganda against Germany. These two magazines, "The Watchtower" and "Bible Student" were the only magazines in America which refused to engage in anti-German propaganda and for that reason were prohibited and suppressed in America during the war.

(2) Witness literature often carried sharp critisism of flagrant human rights violations in Nazi Germany.
