Well he was purportedly baptized.

Of course, that doesn’t mean he was Christian, but does mean his family was possibly Christian.

That baptismal record has been long ago secreted a way.

“The church” as usual never was taken to account for its dealings with Nazis.

If one has read about Dietrich Bonhoeffer, then they know the Nazis went after Christians who didn’t tow the party line not just Jews for so-called racial cleansing.

Most Germans were culturally Christian. But Hitler clearly wanted that to change over time.

***Well he was purportedly baptized.***

So was Simon the Sorcerer.

Acts 8: 8When Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money. 19“Give me this power as well,” he said, “so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”

20But Peter replied, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! 21You have no part or share in our ministry, because your heart is not right before God. 22Repent, therefore, of your wickedness, and pray to the Lord. Perhaps He will forgive you for the intent of your heart. 23For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and captive to iniquity.”

Yes, understood. Catholicism and Lutheranism has much to answer for, but mostly because they went along with it while the Nazis hated them privately.
