Somewhat true enough at a certain time in Hitler's life, however he loathed and hated both the RCC and Protestants and if anything wanted to start his own religion which would have been based on the premise that it has no Jewish roots since Hitler hated Jews.
From a historical perspective, Aractus is correct. I cringe every time Dawkins brings up Hitler being a Catholic because it's only accurate in his early life and not when he was actually a political player. I think he should drop it from his critiques of Catholicism. You don't need to bring up Hitler to wholly crucify the morality of the Catholic church.
