Franz Justus Rarkowski

Franz Justus Rarkowski, S.M. was the Catholic military bishop of Nazi Germany. The existence of such a role was provided for by the Reichskonkordat (1933), and Rarkowski had been acting head of the military chaplaincy since 1929, before he was officially consecrated on February 29, 1938, as episcopus castrensis. Rarkowski's title was translated into English as "Field Bishop of the German Army".
