This second link provides many quotes from mein kempf showing that he was a ardent follower of Jesus through a protestant denomination and often was involved social activity with Christian groups.
Hitler himself says in Mein Kampf that his public statements should be understood as propaganda that bears no relation to the truth but is designed to sway the masses.
The Nazi idea of an Aryan Christ who uses the sword to cleanse the earth of the Jews was obviously a radical departure from the traditional Christian understanding and was condemned as such by Pope Pius XI at the time. Moreover, Hitler's anti-Semitism was not religious, it was racial.
In his multi-volume history of the Third Reich, historian Richard Evans writes that "the Nazis regarded the churches as the strongest and toughest reservoirs of ideological opposition to the principles they believed in." Once Hitler and the Nazis came to power, they launched a ruthless drive to subdue and weaken the Christian churches in Germany."
Even Christopher Hitchens, who was well versed in Christian atrocities, refers to Hitler as a pagan polytheist. This is of course to push him in to the religious camp, but my point is I don't see how it can be labeled as Christian. Just because something is done in the name of something, does not mean that it is.
I would bring up Hitler's Table Talk but that seems to have as much scrutiny around it as The Bible. In that, Hitler seems VERY anti-Christian and VERY anti-religious, but people attacking the source and translations etc of that text.
Speaking of Christian churches, some of them in the US were citadels of racism that were intent on depriving fellow citizens who believed in their same silly god of their human rights. And those same American Christians rounded up Japanese who were citizens of other Western Hemisphere countries and threw their butts in US and Canadian concentration camps for years on end. Heck, they even threw some Jews in there with them.
