I was just wondering why anyone would think Hitler being a hypocrute would be significant. The imporant thing is not what he believed personally, but what he preached. He didn't personally kill millions of Jews. His audience did.

Let me take a wild stab at this. Perhaps because christian apologists would rather fight on comfortable ground, by talking about Hitler's personal life, the arcanum of canon law and feeble-minded, short-lived naturalistic sects, than face up to why Hitler and the Nazi propaganda machine made successful religeously-couched appeals to the German people to win support for the final solution. Germany, by census, was overwhelmingly, and intensely christian before the war and after the war, so it's a pretty reasonable guess that they weren't Odin worshipping Fitche-ian public nudists, immune the the outpouring of religious defamation of jews during the war.

Yeah! And they were all waving copies of "Origin of Species" as they operated the gas chambers and murdered the entire population of random villages to set an example when Heydrich was assassinated. That's the kind of thing that evolution leads to.
