They try to claim that Hitler was an Atheist when in fact he was Roman Catholic. Are they really that desperate to find an "Evil Atheist"?

Yup. I've seen some of those Nazi photos as long as 18 years ago [!] while I was doing my own research and discovered that the Vatican before and under Pope Pius XII was in accord with the anti-Semitism in Hitler's Germany that led to the Holocaust during WWII...
It was quite a shocking discovery for me!
On the other hand, unless most of Christendom is doing their own individual searches on their religions [or churches], I don't think that Christians in general --especially among Catholics-- categorically DENY that the Nazis had Christian backgrounds as such since IT IS NOT common knowlege until it is duly pointed out by others, and/or upon seeing the actual Nazi photographs for the first time for most all Christians...
Peace be with you.

That makes no experience. Jesus replaced right into a Jew, and He did not oppose the Jews. Hitler replaced into not a Christian. it is clear from his moves, and the actual shown truth that he dabbled interior the occult. His beliefs were more advantageous atheistic, no matter if he replaced into raised Christian or not. i am going to declare all day that i'm a tree. Does that make me a tree? possibly Hitler DID declare to be a Christian. possibly his Nazis did besides. Does that advise that he replaced into, and they were? NO. A Christian is defined as human being who follows Christ's teachings. Did Hitler and his cronies follow Christ's teachings? NO, they more advantageous than likely did not. hence, not Christians.

I agree that much of the antisemitism of the national socialists was influenced by the catholic church but I think this question goes too far. Hitler cited Christian thought but he also cited Nietschean thought (decidedly anti-christian). I am not an expert but my impression is that his antireligious sentiments were much stronger than his religious sentiments.
However, there is definitely validity to the claim that his antisemitism had catholic roots. In fact the steps leading up to the final solution were identical to steps that the Catholic church had taken in the past (Stimatization, economic censure, ghettoization etc.).

Hitler was indeed a good christian. Those who think the Catholics were forced to support him are just wrong. The Catholic Church supported him because he was going to fight the atheist Communists that had severely harmed their Eastern European income system. The Catholic Church and the German Christian Church supported Hitler all the way until they realized that he had committed the one unforgivable sin!(He lost the war)
Edit to directly above: "Gott Mitt Uns" was on every belt buckle issue by the Nazis.

Nazism a Christian movement??? You must be out of your mind. All the so-called "evidence" on that website is highly questionable, based on very specious logic, tenuous, and/or heavily slanted. Hitler was no Christian. He professed Catholicism when it suited his purposes, but he never confessed Christ. To claim that he did is just ridiculous and stupid.
Besides, there's no such thing as a "Christian fascist movement," and never has been. Jesus has no use for such evil.

It doesn't fit thier agenda. Soils their image.
If it comes up, they just say, "Oh, but those weren't True Christians. They didn't interpret the bible correctly (with the unspoken implication that the speaker's particular interpretation is the correct one). They were decieved by Satan."

Actually, Hitler was a neopagan. Even Christians got sent to the death camps. If there was some church involvement, it would probably have something to do with the so-called 'Illuminati'.

Well even if it was, that doesn't mean anything for Christianity or Christians. Just as a bunch of terrorists cannot be used to judge Islam. All your point proves is that some radical Christians might have started a movement that went against the teachings of Christianity, as I understand them. I think it is people like you who want to use exceptions to prove the rules, and hence forward their own motives and prejudices.

All historic wars starting from 0000 BC/AD were religious-based. Doesn't seem like such a nice way of life, after all, does it?

Because the mass murder of an ethnic or religious group is contrary to Christian beliefs, therefore Nazism is not truly a Christian movement, as much as terrorism is not synonymous to Islam.
