In recent years fedora tippers have been pushing the 'Third Reich was Christian' narrative, but if you actually look at the history the Third Reich was just one giant pagan larp. Hitler's public speeches were pro-christian while his private talks were [apparently] anti-Christian. Since Hitler himself was a career politician I believe it's foolish to believe whatever he had to say at face value. We can however judge him by the company he kept and the people he appointed: Martin Bormann, Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels and Alfred Rosenberg: All anti-Christians and neo-Pagans.
Under Himmler, the SS was to be "the vanguard in overcoming Christianity and restoring a Germanic way of living". Himmler's Sicherheitsdienst started the "War on the Church" in which Catholic churches and clergy were prosecuted. There's also the
Priest Barracks of Dachau Concentration Camp.
TLDR: The SS Totenkopf is pagan and anti-Christian.

Precisely. The fact that there is any doubt about the status of Christianity within Hitler and Nazism in general is an argument against it as any genuine Christian ideology must be first and foremost Christian, not a useful political addendum to be focused upon when most fitting to its leaders. Christianity is not a piece of some secular ideology, but the foremost and greatest part of a man's worldview and understanding; Nazism reduces Christianity to a sideline.
This is already disregarding the fact that Nazism and fascism delve too far into the realms of social Darwinism, mortal arrogance, and idolatry even at the best of times. The diagnosis of society put forward by the modern Nazi is hardly incorrect, but the treatment is that of an already once botched, tainted, and ultimately heretical ideology clouded by occultist nonsense and selfishness. There is only one way to eternal salvation, only one path one can walk to gain salvation in the next life and true goodness in this life; Christianity.

Hey did you know about the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar? It was a Muslin volunteer division, that totally means the Third Reich was Islamic, right? You can dance around my comment by talking about how non-German cannon fodder had different political and religious views, but the people who spearheaded Nazi ideology, people Hitler himself appointed were all either neo-pagans or anti-Christians, and that can give us a good guess on Hitler's views on the Christian faith.
For further reading i'd recommend: Inside the Third Reich, the memoir of Albert Speer, The Goebbels Diaries and the The Nazi Master Plan; The Persecution of Christian Churches.

In orthodoxy, it represents a legend which states that Golgotha got its name because that’s where Adam was buried, and that the blood of Christ soaked the earth right where the skull of Adam was.

I mean it's like if I said "f*** Jesus" and when you got offended I said "What's the matter, they're just vowels and consonants that I combined, it's not like there's something inherent in those sounds that makes it sound blasphemous, it's just our man made language that developed out of our human culture, every sound comes from God after all!"

Hinduism has cyclical view of history. However the meaning of swastika and other solar symbols is quite different. It expresses the solar principle - one imovable center, the deity, the one which creates everything.
>Pagan,old.
Yeah you may say that. The "religions" are rudimentary in their understtanding of Logos. Christianity is the only true religion because the Truth is revealed in full sense. Other religions are only partial truth - which makes them a lie, or they are a complete inversion of Christianity - such as Judaism.
However. Some symbols were used for a long time, Solar symbols as swastika or kolovrat or whatever are a part of a specific culture. There is nothing inherently "pagan" about them. FOr example in area where I live on traditional folk houses there are sometimes carved/painted symbols of sun/afterlife/etc. Pagans did not build those houses, christians did. Of course various peoples accepted christianity that does not mean they omitted all symbols. Yes…the understanding of Logos was rudimentary before adopting christianity. Yes, it does not suffice to use them. But that does not make your use of various swastikas/other symbols inherently wrong. Just as using those symbols does not make you a pagan. For an instance if you wear runes/kolovrat on your neck and you do not perform any "pagan religious service" you are not pagan, just a larper at most.
I do not see any issue with using symbols that belong to your folk.
>>764581
Before "The Star of David" larping was invented y christ killers (notice that according to wikipedia its use is first noted in 12th century or so…by the jewish sources. Earlier theere are no proofs) The hexagram was used for a long time, not as a star of remphan, a pagan deity.
But jews adopted this pagan symbol.
One disclaimer: If you are a Zionist and you wear the star of remphan "le star of David" meme you overtly insult God because you larp as a christ killer.
Read John Chrysostom, throw it out and repent
You will not insult God by wearing your folks symbols that are not contradictory to Christianity. That would be as claiming you insult God because you are Roman Catholic and you do not speak latin.

So was "Gott mit unt" or whatever it's spelled like.
The nazis didn't adopt those because they were christian, they adopted it because they were stating a continuity between the german army and the Prussian military, and it's traditions.
It'd be like a romanian army division adding a falx or a wolf banner to their emblems.
Doesn't make them zamolxians, but affirming a continuity with their ancestors.
Actually, 90% of nazi symbols were claiming a continuity with some real or mythologized part of historical "germanism".
From the teutonic knights, to saying they are the "Third" Reich, to the Black Sun(likely an iron age Zierscheibe) to the prehistoric germanic runes used in the logos of the SS and other orgs, to the PIE swastika.
Everything the nazis did(from symbols, to the state, to religion, etc.) was subordinated to proclaiming their german-ness and aryan-ness, nor their theism.

To add on that, and I apologize for using too rude language
The "German Empire" was actually known as "Deutsches Reich"
The Weimar Republic" was actually known as "Deutsches Reich"
The "Third Reich" was actually known as "Deutsches Reich"
The term "Third Reich" doesn't exist outside of Hollywood History, it has no basis in reality besides of "Ah, those huns who want to burn bibles and eat babies are back now!"
They deny that Germany was an inherently Christian nation, with very deep ingrained Christian values and history that goes back about 1600 years for war propaganda
The only thing Hitler talked of you might think of is the "Thousand Year Reich", obviously based on the Christian Holy Roman Empire, that lasted 1006 years
And this crime of uniting the German churches would obviously be a key, the religious split of Germany is a great catastrophe that was created by arrogance from both sides, and creates two artificial populations that are at each others throat
