The Root of Hitler’s Worldview in His Religious Terminology and Concept of God
This study (in German) examines Hitler’s use of religious terminology based on all available texts and speeches and demonstrates that this terminology was integrated into Hitler’s ideological thinking in such a way that a distinct “religion of war” emerged, standing in sharp contrast to the Christian religion. In the process, Hitler’s worldview is shown to have remained largely consistent from 1919 to 1945 and is understood as the driving force behind his actions.
All texts are in German; English translations are in progress.
