He wasn't a creationist. He may have somehow weirdly believed that the Creator set forward evolution as many Christians do today, but he wasn't a Creationist. And, he wasn't Christian.

If you have studied Nazi Germany, Hitler used Christianity as a propaganda tool, was raised in the R.C. church, but gave no deference to Christ at all. I don't even think that Jesus is mentioned in Mein Kampf. Could be wrong. But I don't think so.

And the stupidity continues....

Such willful ignorance is beyond my ability to comprehend.

See post 2735.

Hitler used Christianity as a propaganda tool

He used evolution as a propaganda tool also.

Much has been written about the history of the Catholic Church and the Nazis, too much to boil down into a sentence or two, but nothing suggests that there was much love between Hitler and the Catholic Church. According to Erik R. Von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, during the time period circa 1933, when the NSDAP was trying to take power, while there was some support for Hitler among Lutherans, National Socialism was not popular among Catholics. The Bohemian Background of German National Socialism: The D.A.P., D.N.S.A.P. and N.S.D.A.P., Erik R. Von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, Journal of the History of Ideas, Vol. 9, No. 3. (Jun., 1948), pp. 339-371.

The Nazi confiscation of the property of hundreds of Catholic monasteries strongly suggests that Hitler did not respect the Catholic church. Indeed, he is on record as saying that he would try to reduce the temporal power of the Church once the war was over. The Nazi Dissolution of the Monasteries: A Case-Study, E. D. R. Harrison, The English Historical Review, Vol. 109, No. 431. (Apr., 1994), pp. 323-355.
