German Church Admits Aiding Nazis

Germany's Roman Catholic Church has acknowledged the extent of its involvement in the use of forced labour during World War II.

They were drafted from 800 Catholic-run institutions across the country.

The Church had previously paid $2m in compensation to foreign workers who the Nazis had used for forced labour.

The Protestant Church in Germany has admitted a similar use of forced labour during the Nazi era
