Christians did the Holocaust.
You're an idiot. Hitler wasn't a German, he was born Austrian and moved to Germany when he was 24. 39 of Hitler's known relatives were tested for DNA origins and there is a possibility he was Jewish. Hitler passed the law that he and Jesus were not Jewish because of a picture of a gravestone the British published that might have linked him with the Jews. Though later it was prove the two were not connected. Hitler was a paranoid nut that would do anything to prove he wasn't a Jew. Claiming to be a Christian doesn't make one a Christian any more than someone claiming to be a doctor. The Medical Association's have standards for doctors, just as God has a standard for one to be a Christian. Rest assured Hitler wasn't a Christian, he couldn't even pass for anything less than a monster.

You're wrong. Hitler was a Catholic until the end of his days; he never renounced his faith. He made references not only to "Providence" but to "the Lord, almighty in weapons", in his speeches. He was of Austrian citizenshp, but of Germanic ethnicity.
"No True Scotsman" bullshit, same as usual from you.
By the tree shall you know the fruit, GC. Never forget that. Christians -- not just Hitler, but many hundreds of thousands of German Christians -- murdered almost six million Jews and another five million Roma, Slavs, Down's Syndromes, gays, and non-whites. The machinery of the camps was operated by Christians in the vast majority.
You'd think that if Christianity was such a force in moralization, the hundreds of thousands of Christian Germans would have arisen in revolt at the evil tasks they were assigned. But how many actually did?
