I think that the change from a dual covenat theology to a replacement theology was one of the most significant doctrinal flip flops in the WT/org history.
By the time that 1933 rolled around, Rutherford's new and improved religion had changed from one of support for the Jews to one that required the Jews to convert to Joe's brand of religion.
Lots changed after the year that Rutherford published "Comfort for the Jews" but it didn't change fast enough for Rutherford to convince the ruler in Germany of that fact. The German WT had a deep schism in it - many Bible Students had left the WTS after Rutherford's fight with Conrad Binkele in 1925 and they still followed Russell's dual covenant doctrine and supported Zionism. The JW/ Bible Students were a fractured group, especially in Germany at the time that Hitler took power.
But back to Russell et al...a photo of Russell and cronies in Jerusalem in 1914. Waiting for the rapture, apparently...
