The truth is that Hitler exploited Christian hate toward Jews and majority of clergy did work for him while some (minority) refused and were sent to camps. But like I said majority of priests were loyal to him and even telling people during the mass that it is not a sin to kill a jew that is older than 6 years of age.
Now this kind of distortment that you're trying to push that Hitler was not for "real" Jesus and how Hitler persecuted Church really comes to the fact that Vatican helped Nazis after WW2 to escape to Latin America. There is no denying it and there was no excuse for them to do it because they weren't under Nazis threat (something that they like to use as an excuse for corroborating with Nazis). As if they were thanking Nazis for what they have done.
And it's still not over. Elements of antisemitism and overall bigotry in Christianity that made Fascism possible still lives. Like Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, still gives antisemitic statements like "Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular." and nobody even flinches let alone fires him.
Not to mention some actual Christian preachers today
I mean I would love if you were right or at least that Christian bigotry and hate is thing of the past but it's not and denying it is not good for anyone.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
