Adolf Hithler and religion

[angels4u]

I need more information about what Adolf Hitlers beliefs were, I tried to find more information on the net, but its difficult to know what to believe .

I promised somebody I would look for information about this. This person wants to write somebody back in the newspapers but need more information.

Is it true that Adolf Hitler thought he was doing God a pleasure by trying to kill the Jews? Was he raised Catholic and did the Pope gave him the blessing to start the war?

What do you know about his religion?

I also read somewhere before that he dabbled in the occult.

Hitler was born Catholic, but was an occultist. Many Catholics were put to death in the concentration camps, including Priests and Bishops.

Hitler was a catholic in name only. He was into every form of the occult you can think of, as were many Nazis, especially Himmel. Hitler used the Bible and twisted it to fit his agenda. I will PM you some stuff, as it really does not need to be posted on the boards.

From what I recall, there was an anti-Semetic trend in Germany and the world at that time. Hitler capitalized on that to gain power in a post WW I Germany that had a lot of financial and political suffering. Below is some pertinent background info. I do not want to make hitler sound any less the evil villian that he is, but the country and political climate of that time was ripe for his views. Whether or not the RCC was involved, I do not know. It is still an abomination no matter how one looks at it.

After the war, Hitler remained in the army, which was mainly engaged in suppressing socialist uprisings breaking out across Germany, including Munich, where Hitler returned in 1919. He took part in "national thinking" courses organised by the Education and Propaganda Department (Dept Ib/P) of the Bavarian Reichswehr Group, Headquarters 4 under Captain Mayr. A key purpose of this group was to create a scapegoat for the outbreak of the war and Germany's defeat. The scapegoats were found in "international Jewry," communists and politicians across the party spectrum.

(snip)

A key element of Hitler's appeal was his ability to convey a sense of offended national pride caused by the Treaty of Versailles imposed on the defeated German Empire by the Allies. Germany had lost territory in Europe and its colonies, had had to admit to sole responsibility for the war and pay a huge reparations bill totaling $6,600,000 (32 billion marks). Most Germans bitterly resented these terms, but early attempts to gain support by blaming these humiliations on "international Jewry" were not particularly successful with the electorate. The party learned quickly and soon a more subtle propaganda emerged, combining anti-Semitism with an attack on the failures of the "Weimar system" and the parties supporting it.

Read The Rise and Fall of the 3rd Reich

It has excellent material and a broad overview of the war and times that lead to the rise of Hitler and followers.

Dare I enter this?

Hitler was a member of the Thule Society, a German Brotherhood of Death, an exact counter part for Skull and Bones, but S&B is much older.

Once you get a picture of how Hitler came to power, how he deceived Christians...

Anybody who takes the time to look can figure it out.

What Hitler did goes against all teachings of Christianity. Hitler especially hated orgainzed religion, because in his eyes he was God. He killed hundreds of Catholic priest, because they put God above Hitler and the Nazi Party. One famouse Catholic priest who was put to death was St. Maximalian Kolbe. He was taken prisoner in Poland in 1941 and sent to Auschwitz. In July of 1941 there was an escape from the camp. Camp protocol, designed to make the prisoners guard each other, required that ten men be slaughted in retribution for each escaped prisoner. Francis Gajowniczek, a married man with young children was chosen to die for the escape. Maximilian volunteered to take hi place, and died as he had always wished- in service. Francis Gajowniczek went on to survive the war. Father Kolbe was cannonized a Saint recently by John Paul II before he died.
