Actually, the Nazis were in the process of beginning to supress traditional Christianity and instituting a new religion based on Teutonic mythology.

Hitler was enthralled by the operas of Richard Wagner, and he identified with Wagner's heroes such as Siegfried, Parsifal and Lohengrin.

I doubt the identification was very close: two of those heroes are Christian.
