Agreed.Hitler was, and used it as a tool for control. You are right about the Catholics often voting against him, but a big part of it was that they, too, were a targeted minority. , though, being the Nazi Party was about as trustworthy as a person can be... Still. Yes, I suppose I did make it sound like the religious universally loved him. No, they didn't, most certainly not.[/quote]

The Reichskonkordat was about the self-preservation of the Church. Catholic Churches in Germany were defenceless against molestation once the Nazis took power, and the Vatican was quite literally surrounded by fascists.

I maintain that Hitler was not Christian, in spite of the irrelevance of his religious affiliation to his actions. When he used Christian symbols (which even itself wouldn't say [i]anything[/i] definitively) he used them alongside pagan ones, and he both publicly and privately opposed the existence of the Church and their teachings as blights against the natural order.
