HITLER HATED CHRISTIANS ALSO! HE EITHER CONTROLLED CHRISTIANS OR ELIMINATED THEM! Hitler replaced the cross of Christ with a broken cross or Swastika which adorned the German churches.REMEMBER HITLER ridiculed the Protestant pastors, saying they were cowering dogs who would do his bidding for the sake of "their miserable salaries." The church in Germany was a"STATE CHURCH" and their salaries were governed by the state. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer - HITLER eliminated all signs of Christianity from public and private life. Those that don't learn history, are doomed to repeat it.Hitler replaced the cross of Christ with a broken cross or Swastika which adorned the German churches. Christmas was turned into Yuletide festival with carols and Nativity plays being BANNED in 1938. Easter was observed as the celebration of spring instead of the risen Christ. Crosses could not be displayed in schools or on public property. Private schools were abolished and only public schools remained with textbooks promoting Nazi ideology. Teachers were forced to take a loyalty oath to Hitler or be dismissed.(Because Germany had a state church, the pastors were dependent on the good graces of the government for their income.) Hitler ridiculed the Protestant pastors, saying they were cowering dogs who would do his bidding for the sake of "their miserable salaries."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfjm9Ic-Ric&t=785s
