Further, even if you were to take his claims as correct i. e. we still have Hitler saying

"Christianity teaches 'transubstantiation,' which is the maddest thing ever concocted by a human mind in its delusions..."

As a Catholic that makes him a heretic, but it's not an unusual position among Protestants. As for Christianity being responsible for the fall of Rome, that would simply be a hyperbolic reading of Gibbon.

As a Catholic that makes him a heretic,

Very good. We now have a concession that he wasn't a Catholic. That's actually progress with some of you.

Now, the part about Jesus being an "Aryan" -- what particular branch of Christianity to which you would say that belongs? What part of the Bible would that come from?

Hitler was not a Christian. He hated Christianity. He did not want it taught in schools. He wanted to replace Christian holidays with pagan ones. He could have been a member of the NEA.

Here's some more intimate statements from der Fuhrer about Christianity:

Joseph Goebbels, for example, notes in a diary entry in 1939: "The Führer is deeply religious, but deeply anti-Christian. He regards Christianity as a symptom of decay." Albert Speer reports a similar statement: “You see, it’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn’t we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?"[11]

And I suspect they are giving Richard Carrier fits.

The puzzling thing is why do so many people on this board want to believe that Hitler was some kind of Christian when it is indisputable that he was an anti-Christian?
