Christianity is "the foundation of our national morality"

#index/0: "As for the religious views of Hitler himself, the evidence is conflicting: In public statements he sometimes praised Christianity (once calling it 'the foundation of our national morality'), but in private conversations -- including one recalled by the Third Reich's official architect, Albert Speer -- the Führer is said to have abhorred the faith for what he deemed its 'meekness and flabbiness.' Hitler did, however, fervently worship one thing above all else: the Aryan race. And by the time Hugo Jaeger took the photos seen here, Hitler and Heinrich Himmler, commanding general of the SS, had articulated and launched their plan for creating a 'master' race -- via, in large part, the extermination of Europe's Jews."
