Hitler wanted to make Germans pure of any other race or type of people, that's why they started with the Jews.

No, It was a bit more complicated than that. The Nazis even tried to establish a Jewish State in the middle East before the second world war started. What they wanted most was to move the Jews out of Europe. When they could not find anywhere to ship them to then the Concentration camps and the Killing started.

Nazism is a modified form of fascism, which is a governmental system, not a religion.
Ostensibly, the Nazis were Christian, but it was pretty freaking warped. Very freaking warped, in fact.
Hitler thought the Jews were out to get the world.
Then he saw the golden opportunity - Germany was very poor from its WW I debt, so he told everyone that the Jews had swindled them for generations, and seized Jewish assets, and gave everyone else enough to 'rescue' the economy.
This made people believe that 'the Jews' really had been secretly grabbing their money and keeping them down for ages, and that is the short version of why normal germans hated the jews.
There you go!

The Nazi party was a political movement, not a religion... Long before WWII was started, Germany was in ruins from WWI, people were starving, society was in shambles, the whole country had been emasculated, and people were looking for a reason, a scapegoat, someone to point the finger at for the state of affairs... The Nazis offered that reason, and though it was horrific and hard to understand in retrospect, their propaganda and actions returned purpose and hope to the minds of the German people...
...The masses were not truly aware of the extreme horrors that were taking place... All that they were seeing is that there country was getting stronger, their industries were improving and Germany was expanding to include the areas where Germans were living (Austria/Hungary/Poland, etc) even though there were already governments there...

People don't realize that the Nazis were not only trying to annihilate the Jews, but also the Gypsies, the Jehovah's Witnesses and also the blacks and homosexuals that they found at the time as well.
It was a political movement, not a religion. The aim was to promote the purification and promotion of the Arian race- blond hair, blue eyes. Pretty ironic, seeing as Hitler had brown eyes and brown hair!!

No. It was the Nazi political movement that used the Jewish people as scapgoats to blame for all the problems that the German people were suffering. After they lost World War I, the German people were humiliated, jobless & broke & the economy was in a shambles. The U.S. was feeding the Germans so they did not starve to death & German soldiers were coming home after being released from camps. Adolph Hitler (who may have been part Jewish), had been helped by Jewish people in the past, so he knew a lot about them & used that against them. He started out in German beer halls, talking trash to get people angry & get them to blame the Jewish people for their problems & not the previous German government. Like any landless people, Jewish people invested their money in educating their children & many of the wealthy & influential Germans were Jewish. Hitler got the average German citizen angry at the rich Jews & blamed them for the fact that the poor (and uneducated) people were poor. As time went by, Hitler developed a plan for a "Super Race" of blonde Aryan (German) people who would supposedly be superior. He wrote a book entitled "Mein Kamph" My Struggle that detailed his plan for a Master Race. He appealed to the average German person's sense of pride & shifted the blame to the Jews for their problems.
The official religion of Germany was & is Christianity, but that had nothing to do with Hitler killing the Jews. He also killed mentally ill people, Gay people, Polish people, as well as Midgets & Dwarfs. Remember that the Jews were among the wealthier German citizens & he seized all of their money, property, art work, factories, & even the gold out of their teeth. This was a strictly financial deal that was getting control of the wealth of the Jewish upper class.

The Nazis were ordered by Hitler-and yes he's a quarter jewish- to exterminate the Jews. They considered the Jews to be dirty and low class. The Nazi's only did it to follow Hitler, not religion.

It wasn't religion in their case. It was mass hysteria, resulting from years of racism towards the Jews, because they tended to do better than the non-Jews. They also had high standards of scholarship, so there was envy of them. People didn't like to admit "they're cleverer than us", so they made up some excuse to destroy them. However it couldn't have happened if they hadn't been led by a person who had been savagely abused as a child. (and others who had been brought up as racists and didn't stand up against him!) This sort of racism exists elsewhere in the world today. Fuelled by the media, because our insecurities make money for the media bosses. THEY know how inadequate most of us feel and they want to keep it that way! The sad thing is individuals don't realise how much of their bad feelings about themselves they reveal when they are racist. I live in Australia, a beautiful country with, sadly, an inferiority complex, and I"m a member of an oppressed group. If people here stopped feeling inferior they would also stop being racist towards my group. Unfortunately, they think that by insulting and belittling us they will start to feel better about themselves, but it doesn't work that way. (If it did, they would be the most liberated group on earth, they've been doing it long enough!). They think we're wimps because we don't (usually) stand up to them, but it's not because we're wimps, it's because WE can see what pain they're in and we don't want to make them suffer any more than they do already. If they could like themselves more, they would like us more, and if they liked us more they'd like themselves more!. It's a circle. It's like the saying "what goes around, comes around."
So you see, it's conditioning, whether it's driven by the media or the religious leaders or by our already-conditioned, parents.
Religion is just used as an excuse to oppress. (Nazism was not a religion, anyway).If Hitler had not been full of self-hatred he could never have done those terrible things to so many people.
One thing that is quite revealing about Hitler's self-hatred, is that he wanted a super race, of blonde blue-eyed people, but he didn't fit that profile himself!!

nazism is not a religion. the nazis were a political extremist right-field party. the jew killing came from hitler's strong antipathy for them that came from the fact that his father died while taken care of by a jew doctor and the fact that his jew superior officer turned in in front of the antante in the first world war. not to mention jews had been hated for centuries in europe because they controlled the finances of many.
