Hitler's talk of the "hand of Providence" is not necessarily a borrowing from Christianity. Ever since the Enlightenment, the term "Providence" has been used to invoke a vague religious perspective by those who are not comfortable talking about "God."

I have read that Hitler spoke of having a sort of moment of destiny in the military hospital after WWI when he realized that "Providence" was calling him to rid the world of the Jewish bacilli. I don't think Christians should be in any doubt about who he was really hearing from.
