Would that be the one Christ Himself calls children of Satan (John 8:44)? Or that St. Paul calls the enemy of all humanity and displeasing to God (1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)? And how about John the Revelator calling out the "blasphemy" of the "Synagogue of Satan" (Revelations 2:9)?
Then why has Christianity never dealt with the 'Synagogue of Satan'? Christianity wiped out the pagan religions of Europe just fine.
And of course you can read our favorite painter's own words on what being Christian meant to him.
Hitler wasn't particularly fond of Christianity. He only paid lipservice to it for obvious reasons. National Socialism wasn't Christian. They preferred Germanic mythology.
Reduced its population to 700 after the crusades. Should've finished the job imo. Only pagan who ever came close was Hadrian.
The crusades in the Middle East reduced the worldwide Jewish population to 700? That's news to me.
Provably untrue.
No. We have a speech of Himmler where he openly states his opposition to Christianity. The SS did not allow its members to hold positions in any church. Members of the clergy were straight up forbidden to join the SS.
Hitler and National Socialism wasn't a friend of Christianity. A Völkische ideology is in direct opposition to Christianity as both demand to be the absolute priority in life of the people. Hitler knew that he couldn't afford direct and open opposition to the Catholic and Protestant church as that would've been political suicide.
But Hitler and National Socialism most definitely wanted to get rid of Church influence. He was surrounded by many people who held anti-Christian/anti-Church views. If he had been a fervent Christian he wouldn't have tolerated that.
Never heard of the Rhineland Pogroms or Shepherd's Crusade? And that was one comment by Himmler out of context.
But do tell me what sort of "paganism" was practiced by the Reich. What were their holidays, rites, holy texts (something difficult for a pre-literate culture to have). Keep in mind "Asatru" is just as much a bunch of new-agey nonsense as Wicca, just dressed up with runes and Valknuts.

Sure I did. But you claimed that Jews were practically exterminated as a people. That's a claim I'd like to see actual evidence for.
And that was one comment by Himmler out of context.
No, it's not.

I never once claimed that National Socialist Germany was a pagan state. I claim that National Socialism itself is an ideology that is at odds with Christianity and that a multitude of high-ranking National Socialists were not fond of Christianity.

I'm going to answer that regardless and point out the fact that most Christian holidays have pagan roots.
But to go back to my initial claim I have a question for you.
If you had to (truly) forsake Jesus Christ and Christianity as a whole to save your people i.e. blood would you do it?
