Walter Krause joined the Church at fifteen in Germany just before World War I. He was eager to share the gospel and spent time teaching with the missionaries. He walked up to fifty miles to attend conferences and to visit other members of the Church. He married and had four children before he was drafted into the Nazi army in World War II, where he was assigned as a cook on the Russian front. After the war, he spent several months away from home traveling around Germany to reorganize branches of the Church. Several years later, while attending a General Conference, he was called and ordained as a patriarch to all members of the Church behind the Iron Curtain.
