The rise of Hitler and the Second World War had an enormous effect throughout Europe, particularly Germany. In the Third Reich, there was a great loss of life--both soldiers and civilians--destruction of property as cities were bombed and a disruption of people's way of life. As with other Germans, Mormons suffered greatly. Many German Letter-day Saints served patriotically in the military--a number of whom lost their lives. LDS congregations were decimated due to the destruction of buildings where they worshiped and the scattering and deaths of civilian members. As members of an American-based denomination, cut off from Church headquarters in the United States, German Mormons had to avoid running afoul of the Nazis while at the same time maintaining cohesion, integrity and order within the Church institution itself.
