I can hardly imagine that to be true because it takes just a little bit of thinking and a little bit of logic to see that any of his claims in the book "Mein Kampf" are all wrong. And it seems that his reading range didn't go beyond racist magazines of the time.
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"
