How do you explain the fact that the cross was featured in all German Army insignia? I am not talking about swastika.

The Nazis used any religion to further their power. For example, the Nazis raised two Muslim Waffen SS Divisions during the war. These were the only true "religious" SS Division the Nazis ever created (and it is safe to say that the Germany was not a Muslim nation). Himmler was fascinated by the thought of Muslims to be fearless soldiers willing to kill for their religion. One of these Muslim Waffen SS divisions (The Hanjer Division) was responsible for the murder of over 90 percent of the Yugoslavian Jewish population. And these Muslim Waffen SS Divisions did where Islamic religious symbols on their German Army uniforms...

And they were given Iron Crosses for their "accomplishments".

Exactly. This contradicts your earlier statements that they were anti-Christian. Contrast this with Soviets, who were against any religion and never used religion - only allowed it (barely).
