Use your head. Just saying that you're a christian doesn't make you a christian. Hitler used any means at his disposable to bring about his plan. Was Hitler better or worse than Stalin, the atheist?
I tend to agree that Hitler didn't give much about catholicism, but not for the reasons you give. He was certainly not an atheist and invoked the Lord not only in public speeches but also in his writings and in private company.
It's also worth noting that he was the accepted leader of Germany by protestants as well as Catholics because of the fundamental bullshit in the bible of every leader being sent by god.
Also I would like your take on figures such as Ante Pavelic and his theocracy in Croatia with monks running his concentration camps. And there's of course good old Francisco Franco in Spain, darling boy of the church and a rather weak one at that, since he only managed to kill 250.000 people.
Let's also not forget Augusto Pinochet in Chile, who managed to kill about the same number. Brought to the poor chilenian people courtesy of the USA and supported by the church, since he was a good catholic.
The list could be continued.
