National Socialist Germany saw the resurgence of Man as an instinctive animal, a part of nature, in contrast to the Christian dogma of man distinct and apart from nature. Man's animal self was repressed by the Nazarene creed, and the political dogmas it gave birth to. These anti-life forces, including Marxism, Christianity and capitalism, repressed the instinctive nature of Man.
A movement to promote Thulian ideas among industrial workers and to offset Marxism, was formed in 1918 -the Workers' Political Circle - with Thulist Karl Harrer as chairman. From this came the German Workers' Party in 1919. A year later this became the NSDAP under the leadership of Adolf Hitler

It is useful to note that the party philosophers were largely ignored by Hitler, who was by his nature an unimaginative and unenlightened autocrat. Many men attempted to convert Nazism into a religion, but Hilter actually supressed this notion, especially after Rosenberg published a sort of Nazi "bible" in the early thirties. Hitler saw any and all religion as an alien imposition on human nature and an impediment to the power of the state, and therefore himself. As has already been stated here, Hitler intended to liquidate the church, but not before establishing Greater Germany and thus ensuring his position and power for ever.
