Indeed, but I don't think Hitler was very Christian, he probably did what was best for the masses... Our friend Mussolini was an atheist since he was a kid but he made good use of Catholicism. What I am saying is that even if Hitler based himself wrongly on Darwin to advocate racial purity and eugenics that doesn't (1)make evolution false (2) and creationism true. An idea can be very bad and still be the truth.
I can't know for sure how religious Hitler was, but he sure did have some misconceptions about race and genetics, he believed in creating the super-human Nietzsche theorized but misunderstood the former's idea completely - I don't know if Nietzsche was racist but he didn't explicitly advocate eugenics
In the case of science, there's many bad things that are truth - For example, cancer is a terrible thing but it exists, saying "evolution is bad because it leads to social darwinism" is the same thing as saying "cancer sucks because it can get you killed"
My point was not that Hitler was a Christian -- by 1941, I doubt that very much.
My point was that no matter what he believed, the largest Christian denomination approved of his actions. The Vatican signed an accord with Hitler agreeing to stay out of German business in 1934, (iirc), and even in wartime, they were very happy to laud the NaZi successes.
I have nothing to say about NaZiism's misunderstanding of evolution by natural selection; that sort of Himmlerian stupidity needs no criticism from me.

He had plan he followed the bible did what he thought what was good for his people and wanted to kill the jews and also there is other reasons behind it being that ww1 Germany's economy turned to shit. So as many people do not want Hitler and christianity be put into the same sentence yes he was a christian and he did rule with christian morals after all.
This is factually incorrect. Learn about the subject before you opine on it.
