Your misattribution of the "German or Christian" quote does not inspire confidence.

Even so, there is nothing Christian about the buckle, and it bears the swastika, which is a pagan symbol.

And there's nothing Christian about "Gott mit uns"? A reference to Odin, perhaps?

Tell my how "God with us" is Christian doctrine. It could belong to any religion. See my other posts, which demolish the idea that this is necessarily an authentically Christian artifact. The Nazis were masters of propaganda, of playing on people's emotions and feelings. They knew most Germans came from a theistic culture, so they invoked God on behalf of a pagan cause. Certainly you're smart enough to grasp that? Or do you also really believe that Bill Clinton and John Kerry are committed Christians because they go through the motions of attending churches? Leftists are habitual liars. It's what they do for a living, so they're good at it.
The fact that the quote from Hitler may have come through Rauschinger doesn't invalidate what I said about Hitler being basically anti-Christian. Rauschinger is a controversial figure, probably because the Left tried mightily to discredit him, as they do anyone who points out the obvious: that National Socialism was a revolutionary movement of the Left.
