German Religion Notations
Posted by: BHenderson ()

In the lists of prisoners (or casualties) from u-boats, there is often a mention of next of kin and religious affiliation of the men. The most common are "Evangelical" (which I guess would be called "Lutheran" in the US) and R.C. (or Catholic). But a few have the designation "Ggl" following their names. Any idea what religious affiliation this denotes?

Thank you, Bruce Henderson, NC USA
