Again, what does any of that have to do with “German Christians” and their idolizing of Hitler?

Again, you are trying to paint a picture of Protestants "idolizing Hitler." What about the Orthodox Christians idolozing Joseph Stalin, the former Orthodox seminary student? Stalin killed millions more than Hitler, and yet you give Orthodox Christians a clean slate.

Nazism wasn't a Christian movement. The swastika is an ancient symbol in religions such as Hinduism. You are simply attempting to condemn Western Christians. It was Western Christian nations like Great Britain and the United States that defeated Nazism.

The Orthodox East, particularly Holy Russia, is full of atrocities. Holy Russian was not Holy.

Incorrect. Only “German Christians”.

“What about the Orthodox Christians idolozing Joseph Stalin, the former Orthodox seminary student?”

The Orthodox didn’t idolize him.

“Stalin killed millions more than Hitler, and yet you give Orthodox Christians a clean slate.”

“German Christians” freely chose to idolize Hitler. The Orthodox did not idolize Stalin.

“Nazism wasn’t a Christian movement. The swastika is an ancient symbol in religions such as Hinduism. You are simply attempting to condemn Western Christians. It was Western Christian nations like Great Britain and the United States that defeated Nazism.”

You are imagining quite a bit here. I never condemned Western Christians. I am a Western Christian, after all.

“The Orthodox East, particularly Holy Russia, is full of atrocities. Holy Russian was not Holy.”

What has any of that got to do with “German Christians”?

There are no Orthodox who idolize Stalin and it's clear that with 66 million in casualties the folks managing the killing hated Christians you might endeavor to check out who they were.
