The basic premise of Bavaria being particularly Nazi is false. Birthplace of the Nazi party, yes, particularly Nazi, no.

Consider the following from the History Channel (http://www.historystudystop.co.uk/php/displayarticle.php?article=66&topic=meu):

The Nazis won a higher share of the vote in Protestant, rather than Catholic, areas. In July 1932 the Nazi share of the vote was indeed twice as high in Protestant areas as in Catholic. The Catholic Centre party regularly gained 11-12 per cent of the vote and did not lose support to the Nazis. This is not to say that Hitler and the Nazis received no support from Catholics, but this support came in special circumstances. In Silesia, for instance, where there were strong nationalist grievances against neighbouring Poland, many Catholics did vote Nazi.

The Nazi party was born in Munich. They let just ANY kind of riff-raff into Munich . .. or at least they can't keep them out. Remember that Hitler was an Austrian who had fled his native land to avoid the draft . . .
