Aren't you the asshole who wrote a nice as pie freepmail to me, offering to start a dialog outside the evil world of flame wars, and when I responded in good faith, and at some length, dropped the whole thing?
What is it with you people that you are so personally dishonest that you cannot have a conversation with a normal person?
I think Hitler was a master manipulator! He was a genius politician. He used the core beliefs of His people to gain favor with them. I do not think these beliefs were held in any esteem in his private life. His underlying motivation was ambition and hatred. I do not think either of those are consistent with Christ's teachings. In all intents and purpose, he fooled the German people. His deeper motives may very well account for the structure of his military. Germany had it's regular armed forces, but it also had it's more "prestigous" groups, like the SS. I think it's possible that the "inner" groups were more aware of Hitler's true beliefs, and may very well have shared them. This may be the reason they were part of these groups. They were well indoctrinated, and loyal.
I have a dear friend who is German. Her grandfather worked at a concentration camp during the war. His job was the operation of the gas chamber. There was an officer posted to him that kept a gun pointed at his head in case he refused to perform his duties. As the war went on, and the German people bagan to doubt Hitler, fear became the motivating factor for keeping them on board. Once Hitler had established a strong enough network of distrust among neighbors, and integrated enough loyalist into this network, the pretense of Christianity was no longer necessary.
It's been a while since I've read up on this, so I'm generalizing what I remember. My friend's family's perspective though was most interesting!
