Razib Khan yesterday got into the "no you're the real Nazi" debate; here focused on the actual R1a Aryans across the Indus.
Schiklgruber was himself E2 I recall, probably via the Balkans. Also despite cribbing That Flag off the Aryans he didn't get into that pagan nonsense himself. He started Catholic, in the Charlemagne tradition; ended up Deist. As Tim O'Neill taught us.
And paganism was nowhere part of the NSDAP platform outside Toothbrush-'stache. Overall implicating Addie for the state of late 1930s German spirituality reeks of blaming Robespierre for the Cult Of Reason.
What Razib finds instead, which is interesting, is that paganism was the default state of the SS. That was Himmler's puppy.
On the one hand - as Razib points out - this means "no you're Hitler" can yield to "no you're Himmler" which is, er, even worse.
On the other hand a lot of blame is available to be shared for those events. Catholics and Protestants, by ideology, failed their duty equally. Where they protected Jews they did so less because their religion told them to, and more because they were themselves fellow minorities in those regions (so - selfinterest versus smug).
