concerned. And when Hitler attacked the Catholics, I was not a

unions and I was not concerned. Then Hitler attacked me and the
Protestant church - and there was nobody left to be concerned.

[Some people have a problem telling] the difference between an
inconsiderate oaf and a Master. It's easy to assume that an oaf is
