This is very much worth discussing, but I've got to go for now. I would also like to look at what is it that has caused a largely Protestant nation like Germany to accept Hitler.

Fine, but if you get to blame Nazism on Protestants then I get to blame RC's for Hitler, for he was raised as a RC. The other situations you wrote about can be explained by their straying from Christ as a whole, not Protestantism. Apostasy happens to RC's as well as NC's, you know.

but to look at the ultimate end of that kind of democracy and how it lost its Christian way.
