But it does render legitimate the question: on what grounds do you gain your apparent Certainty that Hitler was in fact a believing Christian?

His final act of suicide is testament to his unfailing belief in Aryan Chirstianity which evidently sees suicide as the final sacrament.

The idea that Hitler was a practicing Christian, or particularly a practicing Catholic, is about as stupid as it gets. Looney tunesville.

Hitlers religion was Naziism, period.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN is falsifiable:

(Incidentally, for those who don't know, falsifiable does not mean false.)

Oh, sarcasm, I get it. May I take it that any Christian who ever committed suicide may therefore be taken to be an vegetarian nudist tree-sprite worshiper, rather than a Christian?

He was every bit as much a "practicing Christian" as the countless church-goers whose motivation is primarily to get connected to loyal customers for their business.

You mean this Nazism?

That's just wishful thinking in opposition to utterly overwhelming evidence to the contrary. He was educated by the church, he playacted at being a minister with his sister, he spoke of his faith extensively with his teachers, and he contributed his own original theologically couched works of art and literature, however humble. And in his last years, his attempts to murder the Jewish people were not couched in nudist vegetarian Odin-ist terms (which wouldn't have even been comprehensible to the vast majority of the Christian Germans), they were couched in biblical phrases and references. We have pictures of him going to church, we have him confirming his Christianity and Christian references scattered throughout his speeches, and we have pictures of him attending church, and causing religious icons to be erected at his private domain, while chancellor. Hypocrisy doesn't prevent countless millions from being regarded as christians--what's so special about Hitler, other that that you find his Christianity particularly embarrassing?
