As early as 1932, according to the records of Hermann Rauschning (1887–1982), a leading NSDAP man in Danzig/Gdansk, Hitler stated: "This devilish 'Thou shall, thou shall!' And that stupid 'Thou shall not!' We must clean our blood from it, from this curse of Mount Sinai! ... The day will come when against these commandments I will erect the tables of a new law. And history will recognize our movement as the great battle for the liberation of mankind, liberation from the curse of Sinai. ... That is it what we are fighting: this masochistic attitude of self-torturing, this curse of so-called morality, which is made an idol to protect the weak from the strong, given the eternal fight, the great law of divine nature. It is the so-called Ten Commandments that we fight" (H. Rauschning, Gespräche mit Hitler, Wien: Europa-Verlag, 1988, p. 210).
When Germans began exterminating the handicapped at home, and then moved on to murdering the Jews and killing the inhabitants of Slavic territories, no one ever again was to stop them by calling out, "Thou shalt not kill." One might — in the cold language of the computer age — say Hitler had ordered that the hardware of biblical morality, the Jewish people themselves, be eliminated in order to erase the software, the Jewish principles of the sanctity of life. Christians, and all other people who followed this Jewish core, which had become the West's moral code, were persecuted, too.
What Whoopi Goldberg and many others don't realize is that the Nazi extermination of the "Jewish race," the handicapped, and the Slavs went together. The Holocaust was intended to eliminate moral inhibitions, thereby immunizing Germans against any reluctance they mighit feel about carrying out the rest of Hitler's homicidal plans for Europe and the world.

But I believe, and I know from Scripture, God is merciful and when we repent.......may yet show His great mercy.
Pray that He will restore our nation!
Stalin was a sociopath, but a very effective one.
The classic question.... and I’m looking for Christian opinions: If Hitler accepted Jesus before offing himself.... Is he saved?
Only God knows what is in a person’s heart.....
....but my guess is Hitler was lost and swallowed in his sin, sins and his heart had been hardened against receiving redemption
.....
All through scripture you will find those who reject God and their hearts are hardened........
Yes, sociopath and capable are not mutually exclusive.
Hitler said in a speech, “One is either a German or a Christian, you cannot be both.”
The Brits liked that so much they put it on a wartime poster (early memeing, right?) with Hitler’s picture next to the photos of a bombed out city.
Open pedophilia is worse.
Epstein didn’t kill himself.
That was peak values?
It's hard to have certain values without assimilation and community. Migration disrupts those things. Culture is dependent on commune. The faster we innovate and move, the less cohesion we have.
I think we can all see the outcome of that attitude, before, during, and after Hitler’s time.
The Catholic novelist Walker Percy once said that he thought the survival of the Jews was one of the proofs of God’s existence. If the Nazis had to keep some connection with Christ because of Germany’s Christian heritage, they had to have him stripped of his Jewishness, and the taken out of the context of God’s work through the Jews in the history of salvation. Their “Christ” was cut off from God, which is what they wanted. An idol.
A while back someone here made reference to a book called “Christ Was A Gentile.” I read a little of it. The basic premise was that Christ wasn’t a Jew, since how could anything good, much less the Savior, come from the dirty, rotten, corrupt Jews?
Get rid of the God of Israel, then it’s a short step to getting rid of the moral foundation of the world.
***The Holocaust was intended to eliminate moral inhibitions,***
You would be surprised how quick you can adjust to such killing.
While working in a chicken hatchery I noticed all the cull chicks were killed, either by breaking their necks if just a few, or by drowning them if several hundred.
Several years later, a new method shocked me. A furnace in which you pushed whole boxes of chicks into the flame. But after a few weeks, you got used to it.
In reading a book “La Question” by Henri Alleg, about the French problems with the Algerian rebels, he tells of a young man new in the service being shocked as to how Algerian suspects were treated.
A few weeks later he saw the same man, his face distorted with anger brutalizing the suspects.
I’ve read many of the biographies of Hitler. One of the best studies is not actually a biography but a look at all the different historical interpretations of him, called “Explaining Hitler” by Ron Rosenbaum. He not only reviewed what each historian said, but if possible interviewed the historians to further pin them down.
Bottom line, none of them could adequately explain Hitler.
A very good examination of Hitler’s antisemitism as a process to install himself and Nazism as an idol is my old mentor Robert J. Lowenberg, “The Trivialization of the Holocaus as an Aspect of Modern Idolatry.” It’s not easy to find: St. John’s Review, Winter 1982, pp. 33-43. He does a serious analysis of Hitler’s obsession with Old Testament words/phrases (especially the “purifying” of the blood) and his plan to replace the Christian church with a church of Nazisim (”there shall be no book upon the altar except Mein Kampf”)
The Communists were SOCIALISTS.
The Nazis were Nationalist SOCIALISTS.
The Fascists were the minor political party party of Mussolini.
That is why today the Communist SOCIALISTS always call the Nationalist SOCIALISTS the name FASCIST, to avoid calling fellow SOCIALISTS “Socialists”.
The Nationalist SOCIALISTS and the Communist SOCIALISTS were simply two wings of the same buzzard.
“Controversial problems [between Germany and Russia] did not, in my opinion, exist anywhere along the line from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea and to the Far East. In addition, despite all the divergencies in their views of life, there was one thing common to the ideology of Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union: opposition to the capitalist democracies in the West.”—Julius Schnurre, Nazi trade rep to Russia.
Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by Shirer. Page 501 in my copy,
In the olden days the arm and bayonet were the enemy.
In today’s world it is the book that is the enemy.

A good read.
You might also enjoy Hitler in Hell by Martin van Creveld, which is a fictional work of Hitler in Hell giving his autobiography and motivations.
Say in his heart he tepented and acceptable Jesus as G-d, King Messiah in perfect faith and intention.
All good to go?
Hitler ‘supposedly’ offed himself. Does not even sound remotely like a conversion to Christ… Hitler took advantage of people who the world powers decided should pay the price of WWI. I have lived a life of wonder, how very few ever seem all that upset over the death toll under unadulterated communism.
Mine is a theoretical theological question.
I believe in death bed confessions, and we know the thief on the Cross was promised eternal life......
....but God also hardened Pharoah’s heart and others....
...I believe Hitler’s heart was hardened....
I know Martin Luther’s “On the lies of the Jews” was a huge inspiration for Mein Kampf.
Didn’t he also take over the Lutheran Church during the ‘30s through ‘40s?
I realize this isn’t very Christian. It seems like he tried to hijack the church.
