I did just read a quote from Hitler as an adult and in charge where he stated he was a Catholic and always would be.

If its the quotation I'm thinking of, it's reported by Albert Speer in "Inside the Third Reich". Hitler says that he considers himself "a member of the church" and plans to remain that way.

Problems:

1. Speer is not necessarily reliable. Evidence exists that he lied to save his skin, among other things. These are of course recollections he wrote down in prison, years after the fact.
2. "member of the church" doesn't specify what church Hitler's talking about
3. Hitler is not known to have been a Catholic communicant after his mid-to-late teens.
4. He is, OTOH, known to have lied like a rug, both in public and in private.

Put another way, if I found a quote (invented or not) in which Hitler claimed to be a pickled herring, that quote alone would not make it so.

That isn't where I read it, but it is perhaps quoted from that, in fact, most likely is. As I stated, I don't think Hitler had any kind of faith unless it was in Satan!

I went searching for the source of the Hitler quote I had just read. I read so much it is sometimes hard to recall where I read what! The book is Adolf Hitler, John Toland, NY, Doubleday publisher, 1978.
