Yet Hitler was a nominal Catholic himself.

Hitler was an adherent of Schönerer and the Los Von Rom movement.

Los Von Rom Bewegung ('Away from Rome') was an explicitly anti-Catholic, pro-Lutheran organisation.

Proof please, someone who isn't a Nazi if you can manage it. A note from Wiki reference to Los Von Rom doesn't cut it.

Here is the relevant Wiki on Hitler's religion:

\"Hitler was born to a practising Catholic mother and an anticlerical father, but after leaving home Hitler never again attended Mass or received the sacraments.[361][362][363] Speer states that Hitler made harsh pronouncements against the church to his political associates and though he never officially left it, he had no attachment to it.[364] He adds that Hitler felt that in the absence of the church the faithful would turn to mysticism, which he considered a step backwards.[364] According to Speer, Hitler believed that either Japanese religious beliefs or Islam would have been a more suitable religion for the Germans than Christianity, with its "meekness and flabbiness".[365]

Historian John S. Conway states that Hitler was fundamentally opposed to the Christian churches.[366] According to Bullock, Hitler did not believe in God, was anticlerical, and held Christian ethics in contempt because they contravened his preferred view of "survival of the fittest".[367] He favoured aspects of Protestantism that suited his own views, and adopted some elements of the Catholic Church's hierarchical organisation, liturgy, and phraseology in his politics.[368]

Hitler viewed the church as an important politically conservative influence on society,[369] and he adopted a strategic relationship with it that "suited his immediate political purposes".[366] In public, Hitler often praised Christian heritage and German Christian culture, though professing a belief in an "Aryan Jesus", one who fought against the Jews.[370] Any pro-Christian public rhetoric was at variance with his personal beliefs, which described Christianity as "absurdity"[371] and nonsense founded on lies.[372]"

While Los Von Rom may have been pro-Lutheran, there is little evidence to suggest that Hitler was. He did however attend the Catholic church in his youth,and received the sacraments. Haven't we heard 'Once Catholic, always Catholic' around here by some. He was anti-christian in any case so the tar brush fails.
