P.S. found there are some variations:
for example:
They came for the Communists, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Communist;
They came for the Socialists, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Socialist;
They came for the labor leaders, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a labor leader;
They came for the Jews, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Jew;
Then they came for me - And there was no one left to object.
or
When Hitler attacked the Jews I was not a Jew, therefore I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the Catholics, I was not a Catholic, and therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the unions and industrialists, I was not a member of the unions and I was not concerned. Then, Hitler attacked me and the Protestant church -- and there was nobody left to be concerned.
Really, really off topic now - as a protestant pastor Niemoeller rejected to use guns to defend the church - unlike Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who took part in some attempts to kill Hitler - and Bonhoeffer was a protestant pastor too. He was murdered in the Flossenbuerg concentration camp days before the war ended. He is one of my personal favourites as a christian.
- so you may conclude I am not against defence - even with weapons too.
