          All Nazi bucklers had the words “God mitt uns” on them.

          And Hitler wrote plenty of times how he was a devout Christian in his diaries.

          There is a reason why he started with gassing Jews and not black people or anyone else that was even further away from what he would consider the “Übermench”

            “God mitt uns” was in use in Germany since 1701. Hitler only pretended to be a Christian for votes. Hitler also mass murdered people with mental disabilities. Anyone who wasn’t “Ubermench” were people who weren’t aryans. Plenty of Slavs were sent to Auschwitz, and even some French as well. Hitler’s motivation for the Holocaust was far from Christianity. It was based in scientific atheistic eugenic ideas.

              flirted with paganism and committed genocide

              Both rather typical christian things, you guys stole half your rituals from paganism while killing and torturing people was pretty en vogue with christians for quite some time.
