Freddy, correct me if I am misunderstanding something, but weren't you originally asserting that in the case of the Nazis (as well as the Communists), brutality was possible on such vast scales because of the godlessness of their leaders, or something similar to that?

And I was arguing that Hitler came from a religious background? And Hakeem was arguing that the Nazi reign of terror was absolutely steeped in religion? So wouldn't a childhood full of Catholicism, and an obviously (to me) delusional mind set where Hitler thinks he is the Chosen One, and God is sending him messages that he is in danger, and saving him from that, support my position, not yours?

Here are a couple more things I found today on the net:

Following another family move, Adolf lived for six months across from a large Benedictine monastery. The monastery's coat of arms' most salient feature was a swastika. As a youngster, Adolf's dream was to enter the priesthood.
