The Nazis greatly admired Luther,

So say the Nazis and you. BTW, what religion were the leadership nominally again? Yeah no way they learned from that source.

for he inspired and validated their antisemitism.

Expulsion, murder, wearing of distinctive marks on their clothing pioneered by the Catholic church at various times 1000 years before Luther. But Luther inspired them? Right, that's believable!

Sadly it is more likely Catholicism AS infected Luther to his shame. Something else from the Catholics he would have been well advised to shed. Too much time in Catholic education, fortunately he never sought secular power as the Catholics did. As it was he didn't have any power, but the OTC sure did and exercised it to the Jews' dismay. No evidence that Luther's AS went beyond his polemic, none survived to the Lutheran Confessions. Catholics OTOH continued their AS for another 400 years, right through the formation of the Nazi party.

More teaching from the false apostle :

I have read and heard many stories about the Jews which agree with this judgment of Christ, namely, how they have poisoned wells, made assassinations, kidnapped children, as related before. I have heard that one Jew sent another Jew, and this by means of a Christian, a pot of blood, together with a barrel of wine, in which when drunk empty, a dead Jew was found. There are many other similar stories. For their kidnapping of children they have often been burned at the stake or banished (as we already heard). I am well aware that they deny all of this. However, it all coincides with the judgment of Christ which declares that they are venomous, bitter, vindictive, tricky serpents, assassins, and children of the devil who sting and work harm stealthily wherever they cannot do it openly. For this reason I should like to see them where there are no Christians. The Turks and other heathen do not tolerate what we Christians endure from these venomous serpents and young devils. Nor do the Jews treat any others as they do us Christians. That is what I had in mind when I said earlier that, next to the devil, a Christian has no more bitter and galling foe than a Jew. There is no other to whom we accord as many benefactions and from whom we suffer as much as we do from these base children of the devil, this brood of vipers.

Now let me commend these Jews sincerely to whoever feels the desire to shelter and feed them, to honor them, to be fleeced, robbed, plundered, defamed, vilified, and cursed by them, and to suffer every evil at their hands - these venomous serpents and devil's children, who are the most vehement enemies of Christ our Lord and of us all. And if that is not enough, let him stuff them into his mouth, or crawl into their behind and worship this holy object. Then let him boast of his mercy, then let him boast that he has strengthened the devil and his brood for further blaspheming our dear Lord and the precious blood with which we Christians are redeemed. Then he will be a perfect Christian, filled with works of mercy for which Christ will reward him on the Day of Judgment, together with the Jews in the eternal fire of hell!
