One of the most interesting things about this debate is that it essentially renders Hitler as the object of a sort of Schrödinger's Christianity.
If Hitler was a Christian, that actually leans towards Christianity itself being false, because it restrained him from actually dealing with his enemies properly. And crucially, God did *not* reward him for his fealty, despite that being the thing that is supposed to trigger Christianity's stated win condition. Faithful leaders + faithful people = God steps in and delivers you victory without the need for bloody anarchy. In this scenario, Hitler was essentially the litmus test for "*real* Christianity actually being tried," and it failed spectacularly.
If Hitler wasn't a Christian, then it's the opposite position that gains ammo. Since he wasn't a real believer and was only using the religion as a means to secular ends, then of course God cursed him with losing the war, and it's of the utmost importance that the *next* big leader not repeat his mistake. This would actually be extremely internally consistent within the religion's own rules.
its possible... Christian mercy is what prevented hitler from "stooping to their level" but i think his vegetarism also fucked with his testosterone levels (and thus his judgement)
if Hitler was an Odin hailing, Meat munching, lift-maxxer he would've absolutely holocausted all the COMMUNIST jews instead of putting them in fuckin work camps (with holiday conditions)
granted this wouldn't have changed the course of the war, Germany can't 1v3 America, UK and the entirity of Mongol Russia
even if italians were competent and the slavniggers were loyal he would've still lost in the long run, only way for him to win was the Atom Bomb or developing some groundbreaking new weaponary that would evisarate the allies on the battlefield
They’re the #1 shabbos goys worldwide.
