To PDM ; the historical record shows that Hitler thought of himself as a Christian.

It seems that racist activists are looking for new targets. No problem. We Muslims can educate sick minds who says "islam = nazism". Don't you know anything about Christianity and history do you? Here is your fist lesson.

Hitler wrote in his book, Mein Kampf: ". . . I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator. By fighting off the Jews, I am doing the Lord's work." He made essentially the same claim in a speech before the Reichstag in 1938.

The German people were almost entirely Catholic and Lutheran.

Hitler was never excommunicated from the Catholic Church, and Mein Kampf was not placed on the Church's Index of Forbidden Books.

Was he different from his ancestors? No he did the same thing.
" the Jews, who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, the Jews who are heedless of God's will and enemies of their fellow-men.... (1 Thessalonians 2:14-16).
