Great post.

It should also be noted that the ideology of National Socialism was virulently anti-Christian. Hitler adhered to Neitzsche's analysis of Christianity and added his anti-semitic twist (Christianity was a Jewish conspiracy to make the German people 'weak').

Hitler used some "useful idiots" in liberal churches to promote his political goals but once Christian voices were raised against the treatment of the elderly and the mentally retarded these critics were sent to concentration camps.

For Hitler the State, as en expression of the 'volk', was to become the object of worship.
