Why does Lutheranism remind me of “Arbeit macht frei” und seig heil? Just as Episcopalian reminds me now of deviancy? (Born into, Christened in, and attended the Episcopal Church for most of my life, left long ago.)

Don’t know why you don’t have a clue, but you need to do research if you want to understand.

The lutheran pastors fought against the Nazi move to create "Aryan Christianity" or "positive Christianity"

Remember The Lubeck martyrs - three Roman Catholic priests – Johannes Prassek, Eduard Müller and Hermann Lange – and the Evangelical-Lutheran pastor Karl Friedrich Stellbrink. All four were executed by beheading on 10 November 1943 by the Nazis

Karl Friedrich Stellbrink[6] served in the First World War until he was medically discharged in 1917 with a crippling wound to his hand. After completing his Lutheran theology studies, he was ordained in 1921 to the Evangelical Church of Prussia's older Provinces. In the early days of the Nazi regime he was briefly caught up by the political movement and joined the Party. He soon realized, however, its inhumanity and incompatibility with Christian teaching. He was called before a Nazi Party investigative board when he refused to break off his friendships with Jews. He quit the Party in 1937.

I don’t know but if it does you have no knowledge of the confessional Lutheran Church. Like most we have our parts that have gone off the rail but there remains a remnant of those that call themselves Lutheran that actually are faithful to Gods word. You can find them in the Lutheran Chirch Missouri Synod, the Wisconsin Synod and a smattering if smaller groups
