From his own deluded mind, he saw the Germans as a superior race, he was an evolutionist and wanted to push evolution along by getting rid of the Jews and any other race he saw as inferior.

I like that you call him an "evolutionist" as (in your mind) a counter argument to his motivations as a Christian. In your mind, he did it not based on his warped view of Christianity (despite clearly saying he was doing it for that reason), but because believed in evolution (a warped view of it). How can you think his view of Christianity is warped, then turn around and call him an "evolutionist"?
Do you seriously not understand how dishonest what you just said is? Are you honestly so blinded by your beliefs, or did you just not think it through? Hitler was a bigot and a psychopath, and he reached for popular justification wherever he could find it, in a mad grab for power. One of his justifications was Christianity, because he led a force of Christians-- that's why they had "God With Us" on their freakin' belt buckles and shouted the slogan as well.
The same is true for Stalin and Tariq ibn Ziyad (and atheist and a Muslim, respectively), or the Popes commanding Crusaders to go take the central trade routes in the "Holy Land"... as well as the Muslim leaders saying to take them back.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
