Hitler was a Roman Catholic carrying out his final solution on the Jews.... so tell me, what does "Gott Mit Uns" translate to? From Five things you probably didn't know about World War II Germany - History Alive :
The German army had Chaplains
I’ve seen first-hand the expressions of shock and disbelief when people see a man dressed, not only in a German uniform, but in the uniform of a Wehrmacht Chaplain. This is quickly followed by comments such as, ‘The Germans didn’t believe in God’ or ‘The Germans weren’t religious’. This is false. During the 30s and 40s, 95% of the German population were Christian, and during that time many Wehrmacht soldiers continued to belong to their churches. Even on their uniform, their belt buckles were inscribed with ‘Gott mit uns’, which translates to ‘God is with us’. Germany had a strong tradition of appointing Catholic field Chaplains in the army, and this continued throughout the Second World War. Hundreds of photos exist of German soldiers participating in field services conducted by Chaplains, and many civilian accounts exist of German soldiers taking part in mass at the local church.
The Irony further down about Operation Paperclip too...:I’ve seen first-hand the expressions of shock and disbelief when people see a man dressed, not only in a German uniform, but in the uniform of a Wehrmacht Chaplain.

Operation Paperclip
Following the conclusion of the Second World War, many people believed it was the US that led the world’s technological advancement. This may or may not be true, but any and all success and progress that the US had following the war was because of one thing – German scientists. Nazi Germany was the pioneer in innovative technology such as, jet fighters and rocket science and while this may have come too late to help them in the war, the US was desperate to acquire this knowledge. The process of retrieving this knowledge came to be known as Operation Paperclip, a covert operation launched in 1945 with the aim of recruiting as many German scientists, technicians and engineers as possible before the Russians. Operation Paperclip was tremendously successful, with over 1500 scientists recruited, transported and employed in the US. In fact, most of the research relating to the Saturn V rockets and the Apollo spacecraft, came from Wernher von Braun, the scientist who had designed the V1 and V2 rockets.
... if only fundamentalists knew why scientists wish they didn't try to interfere so much with science and critical thinking in public education... It's because of the value it has to progress and technology, the US is losing that battle, I'm afraid...Following the conclusion of the Second World War, many people believed it was the US that led the world’s technological advancement.

Unless of course you pray to another God, or no god at all... then like the Caananites, God might love you, your family, even your infants and livestock to a vicious and grizzly death.

There's a body to examine? Where can we see it? That would settle everything once and for all!
Nope, Hitler was a Roman Catholic. Have you come across other Christians on this site you might say aren't Christian By their actions here? I'm curious.
