Was Hitler accepted as a God in Germany?

Answer 1

He was not explicitly called a God, but there was a personality cult around him that made him very much a quasi-religious figure, so many people saw in him some kind of Messiah.

This was once written in the central monthly newspaper of the Nazi Party:

"We believe that there is a God in heaven who created us, guides us and blesses us. And we believe that this God sent us Adolf Hitler, so that Germany may become a fundament for all eternity."

And this is from an instruction for some Nazi ceremony:

"The Führer is standing! The Führer raises his hand for the eternal greeting. His heart beats with the heartbeat of his people. The marching of the Führer is our prayer today. He is rising and is completely enwarped in miracle. He is burning with the faith of his comrades."

There are many more examples like this. I don't know how many Germans were actually fanatic enough to believe these things. But at least that was the official propaganda line.

Answer 2

Very good Q. The rank and file Germans were victims of dark occultists who were using the Herren Volkish worship of strong military leaders to re-establish their version of Paganism with an antisemitc chaser. The SS was a cult as much as a military organization complete with breeder camps and a holy calender to replace the Christian one. Hitler's Mothers bday was a holiday. Nasty business.

More frightening is a place called Colonia Dignidad in South America that was and probably still is a Nazi ratline.

Answer 3

Rev. Richie, rabid Nazi party members drifted from religion, some of them preferring a made-over German paganism, but the German majority continued to be good Christians throughout the 12 years of German invasion, slaughter, murder, lies, deceit, genocide, torture, and the unspeakably vile. Authority is no small thing to Germans, even today, and adoration of The Leader brings to life all manner of brain-dead idiocy--even today, even today. Hitler wasn't a god to most Germans after 1933 but pretty damn close.

Answer 4

No. Nazism promoted a warped form of Christianity (known as 'positive' Christianity, mostly saying that Jesus was Nordic/Germanic and struggled against Jewish culture), but normal Christians were tolerated.

Hitler, however, reveled in his cult of personality - raising him to a VERY high status (much like the super celebrities of today) - it was approaching God-like, but he wasn't actually believed to be a God. Nevertheless there were still Germans who didn't believe in Nazism - Oscar Schindler (he of the list) for instance.

Answer 5

He was only accepted as a dictator. He was a cold blooded murderer. Many who didn't like what he was doing to the Jewish people couldn't speak out against him because they would be arrested or killed. Him and his followers were sick people. It is a shame that there are many, many people even today, like the Iranian president, say that there was never a Holocaust and they totally deny it. There is proof that it did exist. He was no saint, he was a tyrant!

Answer 6

No they just saw him as a way out of the poverty created by the depression and them having to pay restitution to Europe for world war one.

Japanese are the ones that saw their ruler as god.

Answer 7

He killed hi self because he to didn't have blond hair or blue eyes..

I'm sorry he should of killed his self for that reason, but the Americans scared the cow dung out of him and the thought of dying by a American made him nervous...

He was probably a God among his family, wasnt he into insest?

Answer 8

but he wasn't treated as a god.
