Adolf Hitler and the German Churches

Over the last fifty years, efforts have been made to cast Adolph Hitler in the role of a skeptic, or even an atheist.  These claims are based on a book of Hitler's "table-talk"—conversations recorded by one of his close followers during his lifetime.  Recently, however, it has been shown that the English translation of Hitler's statements was badly skewed to make him sound like an atheist.  In fact, comparison with the original German shows that we have been had by (still another) pious fraud.  Hitler's comments were badly distorted by Christian translator to create the impression that he was ambivalent about the Christian churches.  

In fact, Hitler supported the churches and the German churches supported Hitler, with only a few exceptions. There is plenty of evidence for the religious leanings of the Nazis, including such things as having “Gott Mit Uns” (meaning “God With Us”—much like our own “In God We Trust”) put on uniforms, coins, banners, etc., and these actions clearly demonstrate the religious nature of Fascism. Following in Martin Luther's footsteps, Hitler hated the Jews and wanted to see them all dead, or at least sterilized so they could no longer "contaminate" the pure Aryan bloodline.

Similarly, Pope Pius XII disliked the Jews and had no real problems with the idea of killing as many as could be found.  It was only when the Jews in Rome were being rounded up to be sent to the death camps that the Pope—finding some spark of humanity still burning in his cold, dead soul—began a half-hearted effort to stop what was happening.  These were, after all "his Jews" and he didn't appreciate the German effort to take them away from him.  It appears that the Pope viewed the Jews of Rome with a certain sentimental fondness, much as you might feel toward a small dog that regularly relieved itself on your favorite rug.  He certainly felt that the Jews deserved whatever punishment fell to them, as "The Killers of the Christ"—but they were still his. And simply taking them away? That was too much, even for Pope Pius.
