Hitler, Himmler, and Christianity in the
Early Third Reich
Christopher Tatara
With the rise of the National Socialist movement, Germany became a hostile environment to many minority groups. Communists, homosexuals, and the Jewish community were all targets of the Nazi Party's aggressive rhetoric and physical assaults, but these actions have often overshadowed the Nazi's persecution of larger majority groups. German Christian communities, both Catholic and Protestant would eventually be repressed by the Nazi government
as well.
Why did the Nazis do this?
What shaped the Nazi Party's Christianity policy into one of hate and suppression?
Both Adolf Hitler's and Heinrich Himmler's personal views on Christianity formed the basis of the Nazi Party's policy
towards Christian churches in the early years of the Third Reich.

Hitler, despite being raised in a Catholic household, was anything but the ideal Christian.
His early views towards Christianity were born out of political necessity.
He understood the need for the early Nazi Party to attract the majority of Christian voters.
In Mein Kampf, Hitler even states that "by defending myself against the Jews, I am fighting the Lord's Work.
"Hitler seems to portray himself as a defender of Christianity by fighting against the Jews; this was a cornerstone of Party ideology.
In 1920, Hitler and the Party proclaimed, ''The Party as such stands for a positive Christianity, without binding itself denominationally to a particular confession.
"This statement made it seem as if the Party would support the views of Christian churches.
With the ascension of Hitler to the chancellorship in January 1933, Party policy became government policy.
In a speech two months later, Hitler stated, ''The rights of the churches will not be restricted, nor will their relationship to the state be changed".
Hitler was striving for total control, and his policy reflected that.
However, Hitler's view Himmler, like Hitler, was raised Catholic and remained so at least until 1924, when he began to doubt Christianity.
Around this time, Himmler became "increasingly preoccupied with works that, in his views, dealt with occult phenomena in a serious 'scholarly' way.
"B Himmler's personal beliefs were transformed by Teutonic and Germanic myths, which supported the superiority of the German race, and many occult ideas.
He was obsessed with the idea that Germans were superior to all other races by blood right. Himmler became "violently anti-Catholic and anti-Christian, substituting for the faith ... those particular superstitions ... that suited his Germanic prejudice."
He desired Germany to be restored to its mythological roots, free of Christianity.
Christianity directly opposed Himmler's "demographic revolution" and, as a result, needed to be eliminated by any means necessary.
These beliefs became the policy of Himmler's SS and would result in the SS distancing itself from and openly attacking the Church.
Overall, Himmler was prepared to purify Germany of Christianity by using the security institutions of the state
To some extent, this statement by Hitler was true.
Hitler was "indifferent to all theological questions."Hitler's personal disdain for Christianity was never made public. He viewed Christian churches as political foes whose power could be used to oppose him.
Hitler desired to establish government control over the Protestant and Catholic Churches and make them politically impotent.
The Nazi's persecution of Catholic and Protestant churches was a classic
power struggle. At first, the Party followed Hitler's politically pragmatic policy of placating the Churches while undermining their political power. Once political dominance had been achieved, the churches were no longer needed, and the Party turned to a more radical and aggressive policy spearheaded by Himmler.
This policy sought to eliminate Christianity from the Party and Germany and these policies would only continue to escalate in their severity throughout the early years of the Second World War.
With the fall of the Third Reich, the German Christians were left, along with all the others who were persecuted by the Nazis, to deal with the scars and memories of Nazism.

Then why don't you point to yourself instead of pointing to me. I KNOW that I'm a sinner in need of a savior. Can you claim, "I am a sinner in need of a savior?"

Can’t claim, "I am a sinner in need of a savior," can you? Is it because you think that it’s beneath you?
