We can spin this any way we want, forgetting about Hitler, his followers most assuredly identified themselves as Christians. We can say they did not behave like Christians, but that’s a different discussion.

Martin Luther laid the groundwork for Hitler and he pounced on it.

The followers of David Duke thought they were Christian, too. Just because most religious people are good does not mean some are not bad.

Hitler said Christianity was a "gutter religion", he was bent on replacing Christianity with his own pagan ancestor worshipping ideas. He was most definitely not Christian.

When you get to the point where the National Reich Church is banning the Bible and Christian theology you’ve gotten to the point where the people aren’t believers anymore. The term church may still exist but it has a different meaning. That’s what happened in Germany, which by the time Hitler got into power was largely post-Christian in the first place. That doesn’t mean there were no Christians in Germany but let’s not pretend like the majority of Germans were Christians much less the majority or even sizable minority of National Socialists.

Oh yeah, there was never systemic anti-semitism until the 16th century. What a dope.

Abysmal ignorance or calculated disinformation.
