During WWII, there were probably a lot of Christians that thought Hitler was the beast.
Consider:
. The bent-cross Nazi logo
. The charismatic leader with hypnotic power
. The guillotine for political enemies
. Mass extermination of Jewry
. Arising in the heart of the old Holy Roman Empire
. Impressing of much of Continental Europe into the Reich
. The unprecedented EVIL of the Nazis
Probably some I missed.
True.
Although,there is more than one anti-christ.
