<b>Hitler With Whip </b>(acting
like 'Jesus')</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Hitler's close friend, Dietrich Eckart, told
of overhearing Hitler showing off to a lady by denouncing Berlin
in extravagant terms: ". . . the luxury, the perversion,
the iniquity, the wanton display and the Jewish materialism disgusted
me so thoroughly that I was almost beside myself. I nearly imagined
myself to be Jesus Christ when he came to his Father's Temple
and found the money changers." Eckart described Hitler as
"brandishing his whip and exclaimed that it was his mission
to descend upon the capital like a Christ and scourge the corrupt."</div>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And found in the temple those that sold oxen
and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when
he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of
the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers'
money, and overthrew the tables.<br />
--John 2:14-15 </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Note, a scourge of small cords describes a
whip.)</span> </blockquote>

slaughtering others, they could always turn to a chaplain who
would then patiently explain to them that killing is allowed
by God and about the righteous morality of war. He might then
give a few Biblical examples of God ordained killings. And then
he might tell them that Jesus will forgive them and send them
to Heaven if they should happen to die.

several programs for the growth of a strong German Nazi Volk. These
programs involved the encouragement of the virtues of German motherhood
for the purpose of increasing the size of their families and the
abolition of abortions (except for the mentally ill). In 1938, Hitler
instituted a new award to honor German Nazi motherhood, especially
for large families. He awarded such mothers the cross of Honor of
the German Mother (<i>Ehrenkreuz der deutschen Mutter</i>).</span><br />

The VDK represents an organization that cares for the memorials and graves of fallen soldiers of all Christian denominations from World War 1 to today. Its founder, Siegfried Emmo Eulen had Nazi connections (and thus so did the VDK). Eulen formed the VDK in 1919 and fought from 1939 until 1945, when he died from his wounds. Through the direct intervention of Goebbels, Eulen managed to change the National Day of Mourning (<i>Reichstrauertages</i>) into the Heroes' Day of Remembrance (<i><a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=Jje8cSPgTtQC&pg=PA139&lpg=PA139&dq=Heldengedenktag&source=web&ots=2lOyCe-Nwt&sig=5a7v-Mmzd2OJ8uolXOlkW2FOwGM&hl=en#PPA138,M1" target="_blank">Heldengedenktag</a></i>). For this day, as he wrote, should "not in the long run be a day of mourning, but must be a day of exhaltation, a day of hope for the fruition of what was sown with blood".

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The church integrated the teaching and doctrine of the traditional Protestant church, but like Martin Luther, this church stood against the corruption of the inner church’s conceptions. Luther had nailed 99 theses on the cathedral door at Wittenberg and his life afterwards focused on the grace of God and unending disputes with the Vatican. He also saw the Jews as a corrupting influence in true religious piety and the following of Jesus Christ. He felt the Jews failed to heed his warning of eternal damnation and even encouraged congregations to drive them out and burn their synagogues. He called them by the term “synagogues of Satan.” The Deutsche Christian Church integrated and redefined traditional Christianity to include and align with the ideology of the Third Reich, which they saw as a God-sent gift to the German people. The doctrines of the Deutsche Christian Church were meant to replace centuries-old doctrine. Christ was reinterpreted as an Aryan of the highest order; a warrior come to earth to lead his people out of the way of sin that had become their wont. St. Paul was seen as an introverted Jew whose writings Judized Christian thought in an unhealthy way. They believed that that which is weak is inferior and not allowed because Paul teaches in the epistles the putting away of “self.” Concept of the cross and sacrifice are integrated with the concept of “struggle.” They believed that Germans were born to struggle; the battles, earthly and divine, were reinterpreted in terms of “<i>Kulturkampf</i>”. The German Christian Church was formed in 1932. They had 600,000 members. This degree of influence enabled them to call in April 1933 for a National Socialist-controlled “Reich Church” to replace the federal statutes of the Evangelical Church; the organization was led by Pastor Ludwig Müller. They supported the movement of the NS Party platform for a positive Christianity. They rallied for the removal of the Jewish Old Testament from the Bible. Their symbol was a traditional Christian cross with a hooked cross (swastika) in the middle and the group’s initials were ‘DC.’ </span><br />

this does not depict a burning cross. Rather it glorifies the Christian
cross in memory of the Nazi Leo Schlageter, a martyr for the German
cause. Born in 1894 and raised a Catholic, he prepared for a religious
occupation. Schlageter joined the free corps and fought in World
War I and received the Iron Cross. He became a member of the National
Socialist German labour party (NSDAP) in 1922. During the French

occupation</a>, Schlageter lead a combat patrol against the French.
He got caught and they arrested and executed him in Duesseldorf
on 25 May 1923. In World War II, the Luftwaffe honored him by naming
an air wing after him. The Nazi navy also named a ship after him.
Hitler mentions Schlageter in <i>Mein Kampf</i>. (Also see the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5353971110576401977#schlageter" target="_blank">Schlageter

the Protestant church came under the influence of the Nazi movement called
"German Christians" (<i>Bewegung Deutscher Christen</i>, also
called "Stormtroopers of Jesus") and lead by the founder, Rev.
Joachim Hossenfelder. This movement represented Hitler's "Positive
Christianity" views and lawfully encoded into the Nazi "constitution."
Hitler tried to force regional Protestant churches to merge into the Protestant
Reich Church. Protestant churches throughout Germany participated in the
movement but Hitler's union of the churches failed because of in-church
bickering. Only one visibly apparent church remains in Germany that shows
distinctive markings of Positive Christianity, a reminder of how Christianity
and Nazism mixed together during the Nazi regime.</span></td>

in 1935, the <b>Martin Luther Memorial Church</b> in Berlin
still stands in Berlin. Originally the Church bells and altar contained
the swastika, but later removed because of post-war law that outlaws
swastikas in Germany. Nevertheless, the church still retains many of
the Nazi symbols and icons, including a muscular Aryan Jesus, Iron cross,
statues of Nazi stormtroopers, and a bust of Adolf Hitler.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the 30s,
Nazi party members made up two thirds of the church attendance, where
they also baptized their children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Note, Hitler greatly
admired Martin Luther (mentioned in <i>Mein Kampf</i>), and considered
him one of the greatest reformers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Religious services
in the church took place until 2005 when loose tiles began to fall off
making the church unsafe. Today, priests and parishioners work to raise
money to save the church.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hitler's paintings</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In his youth Hitler lived as an
artist (albeit, a mediocre one). Nevertheless he took it seriously and he
<a href="http://www.adolfhitler.ws/artworks.html" target="_blank">produced</a>
between 2,000 to 3,000 drawings, sketches, watercolors and oil paintings.
He considered himself an artist until 1920. As from any artist, his works
reflect his philosophy and life. Raised a Catholic (but with a Protestant
mind), Hitler also painted his ingrained religious ideas onto many of his
canvases. Below shows just three:</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Notes:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[1] How does Christian
Nazi exegesis explain the absence of Jesus' Jewishness? Houston Stewart Chamberlain,
a Christian anti-Semitic Englishman wrote an influential book called <i>The
Foundations of the 19th Century</i>, in which he advanced the thesis of an
Aryan Jesus rather than from Semitic blood. Chamberlain argued that Assyrians,
Greeks, and Aryans colonized Galilee and the neighboring districts centuries
before Christ. Hitler read Chamberlain during his Vienna period, and had a
brief audience with the aging anti-Semite at the Wagner estate shortly before
being sent to Landsberg Prison.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Nazis also used the
term ''Mischling'' to describe a person with partial Jewish ancestry. It literally
means "mixed." As defined by the Nazi Nuremberg laws, a person having
either one Jewish parent or two Jewish grandparents represented a Mischling
of the first degree. Those with one Jewish grandparent represented a Mischling
of the second degree. The Mischling definition excused some religious people
including Protestants and Catholics from the "accursed" Jewish nature.
Because many Christian Nazis believed that Jesus came from God, Jesus could
also fall into a Mischling category if you believed that only one of his parents
had Jewish blood. His Dad, no doubt looking very Aryan-like, produced a Son
in His image who, according to Hitler's painting, looked like a blond haired
Aryan baby.</span><br />
