In October 1937, Konrad von Preysing [Bishop of Berlin] prepared a private memorandum for the episcopate, specifying the SS's supervision:
"The SS leads the sharpest and most ruthless battle AGAINST THE CHURCH The Reichsführer-SS [Himmler] views 99% of ministers as swine, as he expressed it to one of his adjutants…. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that the most radical wing of the party, under the leadership of the SS, will take every opportunity to drive the battle of annihilation [Vernichtungskampf] against the Church to its finish."
