Was Hitler a Christian?

[Alex K]

Of course.  I don't lay the Holocaust at the feet of Christians, but rather, at the feet of humans.

But it needs to be pointed out that Christian morality in no way stepped up to prevent and obvious, and enormous, evil.

In my very catholic grandparents' (*1900 / 1902) kitchen, the "Führer" hung not far from the Cross, you can be sure of that. Not that they were fervent Nazis or even members of the party, but that was just how it was, a natural coexistence, in those years. You didn't mess with the usual authority figures, mucking up just wasn't a thing. They were thre same ones you had before under the emperor - the mayor who was in the party, the priest, and the teacher, who usually was also in the party (we are talking about a village of 500). I don't think the republic in between had much of a cultural impact in those rural parts.
