The Nazis mostly came out of Munich and therefore would’ve been principally of a Catholic background. Obviously, they were not “practicing” Roman Catholics because Hitler himself spoke often that the supremacy of the State had to be greater than that of the church. At best (or worst?) it can be said that the logical majority of the original Nazis (1923 vintage) were lapsed Catholics.

What is obvious to you does not seem obvious to Dr. E—and I think that even your statement needs to be qualified by the introduction of the words “originally” and “probably” in a few places, but it is certainly an improvement on post 74.

The Nazi Party was voted into office by the German people. There was a vote, and the voting records are there for anyone to investigate. A map of the areas that voted Nazi, when compared with the areas that were predominately Protestant shows an exact match. Whereas, the areas where the Nazis were rejected by the voters, shows an exact match with the maps of the Catholic regions. Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, in his book “Liberty or Equality’ has the maps in pages 225 -227. I think it can be found online.
