Few Christian authors, even those expressing anti- semitic opinions, were exterminationist. I am very familiar with the history of Christian anti- semitism. Having both Jewish and Catholic ancestors, it is a matter of some interest to me. Christian authorities, when particularly hostile to Jews, were much more likely to resort to expulsion than massacre. How did they "agree with his methods for rebuilding Germany"? Were the Western powers in favor of a militaristic dictatorship which persecuted Jews and political opponents? Sure, there were those who admired Hitler, but they were not representative of the Establishment. Sure, they lacked preparedness. It would have been better if they had taken Hitler seriously from the beginning and gotten prepared. It took Hitler time to prepare for war, too. The fact is, all of those acts of appeasement emboldened Hitler to believe they did not have the will to sustain a fight, and to pursue more aggressive policies. Your opinion is noted.
