my dear friend, your actions reveal what is in your heart. speeches are worthless, look at obama if you need proof. i don’t care how many times he mentioned God, Jesus or Christianity, his actions showed he believed none of it!!!

True enough.

But there was a strong current of antisemitism present in Germany that he tapped into making reference to “my Saviors blood upon the cross”.

He called them “capitalists” to appeal to atheist socialist antisemitism.

There wasn't and wouldn't have been a current of thought that he wouldn't have appealed to - in my opinion - that could drum up antisemetic sentiment.

Luther tapped into the same sentiment in his book “On the Jews and their Lies”.

But I wouldn't go around blaming Hitler on Luther - that is a Godwin's Rule leap that should be beyond any rational mind.
