I don't know whether it's here about waterproof evidence or not...may be you do as I did: enter Dietrich Eckhart Thule Hitler and see what you get
I came across a swiss website which also reports about TF etc and is about sects etc...howbeit in German...may be it helps you anyhow...they are quite careful witht heir assessments, simply because all/lots of material is still with the allies and are not yet published...so lots about Hitler might be still in the dark...I thought it was interesting, when they mantioned, that at the Nuremburg trial they couldn't shed enough light on the problem, which dark or whatever force was motivating them - the Nazis - really in their deeds....but that's what it is really all about...
Sure you can misconstrue Christianity and also the Catholics persecuted or drove the Jews out of several countries/cities...see Spain etc.
So there were misguided forerunners in history, but that doesn't explain it all IMO...therefore I
believe, that it has something to do with the Swastika...something with "Aryianism" & also the liking for all the old nordic stuff..runes etc.
what would that have to do with Christianity...even Catholicism?The national aspect in Christianity is virtually nil...not evenin Catholicism you could really find it pushed and propagated...unless to preserve the local power of the churches & that symbiosis between politics and religion has gone for a millenium and plenty centuries...and if you add the persecution of upright Christians by the Nazis you can hardly wind up with a "nice" Catholic Hitler...I think he was a Chameleon and knowing what tune to play to which group...
Here's the link ....the first links in English appereared shorter in contents including the Wikipedia one:
After highschool,I got an old copy/translation of the Bhagavad Gita, it was done during the 3rd Reich...Germany had it's share of famous Indologists...among them Max Müller...the Goethe house/instituition in India rather carries his name, as he is more known to the Indians/popular
than Goethe...personallyI think there is some credibility to it, since several of Hitlers "friends in crime" wereoutspoken friends of paganry...as you know Hitler attempted to chisle the church into the role he wanted...I think he knew, that he couldn't uproot everything at once.
Anywaya big, sick...nevertheless important subject: howhe came to power (not blond...blue eyed, tall etc.)
