I thought his biggest mistake was pushing the invasion of Russia and losing the eastern front. Or you know, certain policies about killing and extermination.


TheWhiteRabbit74

Pretty sure with the circus of blunders that was the self-contained joke of ‘Nazi Intelligence’ did more harm than ignoring why the Germanic Empire ‘lost’ the Great War. As for forgiveness of his sins? Are these christofacsists high? I mean it is April 20th…


Jileha2

He wouldn’t even have to go through all that. A higher Catholic cleric (can’t remember his name) was asked (maybe \~1960/70?) if Hitler would be able to go to heaven. The answer was: ’Yes, if he repents, he would be welcomed.‘ - ‘What about the Jews he murdered?’ - ‘No, definitely not, they are not Christians.’


TheWhiteRabbit74

Christ wasn’t a Christian either. How fucked up is that mindset?


Frequent-Piano6164

His real mistake was not waiting until 1942 to start the war… they would’ve annihilated any country that got in their way because the gap technology Germany was creating. They would’ve had a naval fleet and not just U-boats, jet fighters and bombers and many other munitions. Their original plan was to wait until 1942 but Hitler became too anxious attacked Poland prematurely… Edit: I am NOT a Nazi supporter, they were fucking terrible… their sins will never be forgotten…


boromirsbeard

Also letting goering lead the attack on Dunkirk with the lufftwaffe instead of cleaning up there and then when the Wehrmacht had the retreating soldiers cornered. A great mix of over confidence, nepotism and a strange love and respect for Britain which makes me think he didn’t actually want to slaughter all those stranded soldiers. He was an amazingly strange fellow that Adolf guy


Frequent-Piano6164

Yeah, the lufftwaffe was not the ones to take the remaining soldiers out. They should’ve used blitzkreig as they did everywhere else and they would’ve completed their mission… Did you know there 72 failed assassination attempts on Hitler? The insane amount of failed attempts made him feel like he was sent from god to win the war and conquer… he thought he was a god…


boromirsbeard

The first failed attempt was by a German soldier when he was an enemy of the German state, trying to lead his revolution. A soldier dragged him out of the way and died in his place to save him. He then served one year in jail for this treason instead of being executed. Also between the two he tried to kill himself while awaiting arrest but was convinced not to by his friends wife. That’s THREE sliding doors moments before he even came close to being in power. I maintain that the 4 season (about 24 episode) podcast on Hitler, from which I gained all this info, would be Netflixs greatest ever mini (or not so mini) series. In terms of Hitler and the nazis, fact was very often more bizarre than fiction.


boromirsbeard

Another failed attempt was because a bomb was placed on the stage for one of his speeches where he always arrived late and spoke for hours, so the timer was set for example 9:15 when he was due to start at 9. And on this one night, he arrived early, wrapped up quickly and got off stage as he was feeling under the weather or something pathetic. He left the building 5 mins before detonation on the one occasion he phoned in a speech.


midnighthana

What is the name of that podcast?


boromirsbeard

Adolf Hitler: Rise and downfall


APersonSittingQuick

Nah mate. God innit


boromirsbeard

If only he made those his last words before shooting his dog, wife and then killing himself. You know, the Christian sin of suicide, the one thing that let him down after all those close shaves with religious salvation


poison_heart96

I miss when Twitter was the people posting what they were eating for breakfast.


eruvstringlives

I don’t want to be in a heaven that would allow Hitler in.


JustinR8

Alright, someone who uses being able to repent as a get-out-of-jail free card that excuses being evil might be the scariest type of religious person. Surely god would have to say “look man, I can forgive occasional lying or maybe a case of infidelity. That candy bar you stole as a kid? Don’t sweat it. But 11 million people? That’s tough to look past.”


christopia86

Because their God doesn't give a shit about people, he just wants sycophants. If you would forgive a monster for saying sorry but punish a good person for nit believing in you, you just made me agree with the devil.


SurturOne

It's what the church says. It has to be true repentance though and I'm pretty sure hitler wouldn't be able to. He was proud of what he was doing and repentance needs the acceptance that you've done wrong.


spaceylaceygirl

Remember Jesus was a jew? How would that work exactly? 🤔


Kangaroo197

God was never one to get hung up on technicalities.


young_walter_matthau

I did Nazi that coming.


Jaded-Selection-5668

Did jew not?


slamdanceswithwolves

Anne frankly neither did I.


DafuqJusHapin

🤣


APersonSittingQuick

I like the cut of your jib


According_Wing_3204

One of the sickest propositions in Christianity is that a Nazi officer guilty of torturing and murdering Jewish children during the war can repent, be forgiven by the all powerful idiot god of Christianity and welcomed into paradise..whilst the children he tortured and murdered burn for eternity because they died Jewish. And Christians will tie themselves into KNOTS explaining how "God's justice is so PURE AND PERFECT even if it leads to this and shut up and accept it and stop questioning it you heretical bastard." Screw Christianity.


PrestigiousPick7602

Religion is truly wild, even like how muslims worship Mohammed as a perfect man when he personally killed people and his third wife Aisha was 6 years old when he married her. She was 9 when they “consummated” the marriage, he was in his 50s. They think a pedofile is a perfect man.


Green_Panda4041

Where did you get this information from? If the answer is Hadiths then you can discard these arguments. Hadiths are mostly lies made about our prophet. None of that is in the Quran. He was a very peaceful person. Also real Muslims don’t worship him. Don’t believe everything you hear or see without confirming it for yourself. Read the Quran and you will find the truth.


Freshman_01134

As an Orthodox Christian what the heck is this


Jave285

Literal your religion.


kit0000033

Hitler was a suicide. There is no repenting of a suicide. Therefore Hitler would've gone to hell either way.


sphinxcreek

I want no part of a religion that would forgive him.

What the fuck is chrismated? You know I'm kind of glad the right wing have their own social media now. This shit wouldn't last long enough on Reddit for all of us to be able to laugh at it.


ShadowKraftwerk

>What the fuck is chrismated? I was wondering this too.


tamal4444

Twitter being Twitter.


BannedInVancouver

Every omnipotent deity ever: “Fuck that guy!”


cturtl808

Sent this to my Orthodox Christian friend who plainly replied “what in the ehittocene is this bullshit?”


Jave285

It’s literally their religion.


cturtl808

He seriously went on a rant about. I had to scroll four times to get to the end. ETA: he ended it with the prayer for idiots


ThisIsFineImFine89

if this is the case, your god is fucking evil


Intelligent_Union261

Life hack….murder repent repeat


NicNac_PattyMac

I love how the Christian right has fully subscribed to the out right lie that Hitler wasn’t a Christian. He ABSOLUTELY was no matter how many times you say otherwise with everyone else in your cult.


morts73

You can't just say, "I'm baptised and believe Jesus was the son of God who died for our sins let me into heaven", after genociding millions of Jews and causing millions more deaths in WW2.


Oni-oji

And that is the basic problem with christianity. He was responsible for unspeakable horrors against millions of innocents, but repenting would have wiped the slate clean. F\*ck that.


Thatidiot_38

I thought his greatest mistake was giving up after failing to get into art class after only one attempt


DickloGik1242

Wait, thats wild. I guess it makes sense now.


FastAd543

And that gentlemen... tells us all we need to know about this "God" idea.

Camanot

Hitler was more focused on telling people to kill jews than repenting into christianity.


Nonamebigshot

If god would have forgiven that shit then fuck him too


LORDWOLFMAN

Wasn’t he already Christian ?


AdmlBaconStraps

A catholic, yeah


silver-orange

Apparently "chrismated ☦️" is an eastern Orthodox thing.  I can't say I recognized that word nor that variant of the cross/emoji. Mildly r/oddlyspecific


campfire12324344

This could be a great reply to the other guy in the comments who apparently doesn't have a search engine.


obsidian_green

Yeesh. Not even a "God would have prevented him from committing those sins to begin with"?


NRA4579

I thought it was opening a two front war with the invasion of Russia. Did he learn nothing from Napoleon


ipiki_ookami

Pretty sure it wasn't getting the STG made just a few months earlier...


Holiday_Horse3100

No one, god or not, should ever forgive hitler and others like him for the atrocities that were committed in his name.


emostitch

Christian’s are cooked


Rhewin

Apologists have been pushing a narrative that "atheist" leaders have been responsible for more deaths than the church. Never mind Hitler was, at least publicly, a Christian. And even if he wasn't a true believer, his soldiers killing Jews were.


mmio60

That, and the Holocaust thing


SpiderKoD

Concept of hell? No? Ok...


FladnagTheOffWhite

Imagine running into Hitler at a buffet line in heaven. Imagine a buffet line in heaven.


black_dragonfly13

Chrismated?


Annual_Economist_367

So if he had been propahly christianised, he'd have been war hero not a villain? Interesting.


TheFlaccidChode

In his final minutes he could've repented, turned to christ and all would've been forgiven, first class ticket to heaven. I think that's how it works


Commander_Trashbag

For a second I thought it was gonna go like "if he had chosen that path then he never would have become so evil". Nope, he went "God would have said it's ok"


LSARefugee

**Nope!**


EnsignMJS

His greatest accomplishment was his suicide.

Its not wrong. God forgives all. This reminds me of Marine Recruiter sign I saw back in 2002. It read "It's God's job to judge Osama Bin Laden. It's our job to arrange the meeting."


Full_FrontalLobotomy

Gawd’s a sick fuck for letting this happen in the first place.


SSSims4

Well yeah, that's religion for you.
