    Actually, he did. There is many reports which I have come across as I read the Times alone, that state this.
    What's in dispute is if he joined (the Hitler youth) of his own volition or not.

    It was compulsory. Your name got added to the register by the State on your 14th birthday IIRC. So in that sense he didn't 'join'. Conscripted would be a better term. Apart from which of course he was never actually involved in the Hitler Youth, being properly conscripted into the Luftwaffe ground forces around the same time.

    Yes. Hitler was trying to construct a society where all power ultimately rested with him, where what he said would be accepted as the infallible truth and must be accepted by the masses no matter how unfair, discriminatory or stupid it was.

    Well, looking at it from that angle, I would have to agree, I think :D

    As usual. The Church is trying to stop people thinking for themselves.

    Well like those that were called up by similar process in the USA later during the Vietnam war, he could have skipped out on walking through the NAZI party doors by walking the other direction and across a border - but he didn't.


    So now you say in a sense "he didn't join" - but even he and the Vatican says he did!

    Hitler was a Romen Catholic my friend. How could he set himself up as God if he believed in a creator?

    Hitler was baptised a Catholic. That does not make the adult man any more Catholic than Buddha. Nazi groups infiltrated Christian Churches, they recommended changing the Bible, there was even at one time an idea floated to include a synopsis of Mein Kampf as a book of the new Bible, which would be the book of the Church of National Socialism. Hitler had messianic beliefs in his own abilities.

    For more info check out the reports compiled by William J Dononvan as part of the Nuremburg Trials investigations.

    Uhm, what border would that have been Biggins? You may like to note that after being forced to join an anti aircraft battery he did just that, he deserted and made it to the American line. He was at that stage 16 years old.

    Canada - do you not know that?
    Do you know anything about similar situations?
    Many took that route during the Vietnam war. There was a lot more borders around Germany!

    Indeed, but being an actual practicing Catholic DOES!

    Are you now denying Hitler was Roman Catholic? Seriously?

    *Serious Facepalm* Would this be about the time the Nazis had conquered most of from the Atlantic to the Urals yes? Sure Josef, walk to "the border"....

    Hitler wasn't a practising Catholic. Richard Dawkins had an Anglican upbringing, does that make him an Anglican?

    Question: Does the Catholic church not consider you "Once baptised, always a member of the RCC?"

    - of course I haven't heard of the RCC killing anybody for downloading the countmeout form.

    FYP by the way.

    Perhaps you should study some history then, notably Nazi opinion towards anything uncontrolled by the State. 'Religion' was fine as long as it didn't conflict with Nazi ideals and towed the party line.


    Isn't that exactly what I said??? Nazis were secular however they were not trying to eradicate religion

    Great Ninja editing. Getting good at that!

    Word play about "walking" - did Hitler stop the trains too?

    But the fact is and for all the spin you wish to put on it - he JOINED the Hitler youth - or are you now going to also say still, he didn't and contradict even the pope and the Vatican?

    They would eradicate everything but the 'religion' of National Socialism.

    What has Richard Dawkins got to do with anything?

    Hitler was a praying, sometimes mass attending and God believing Roman Catholic until the day he died

    The keyboard warrior stuff is really hitting a new low. He was 16 when the war ended ffs and at stage he had deserted, the penalty for that was death.

    I think it's time the Catholic Church politely Fooked off now.
    They are the a shower of scum-bags.

    During the famine here in 1870, almost 2 million people starved to death. But not one priest died.
    They used the money of the starving to keep themselves living their high-life.

    They remind me of the KKK at times, everyone walking round with hats, in costumes, making outlandish statements.

    As for the pope himself, what a misreable old sod. The man would do serious damage to your hearing listing to his terrible english.
    Another stuck up snob, like the British royal family living off ourselves.

    Also, look at the security provided for the aul codger. It's like the secret service at times.
    A part of me would like to see him getting hit with an egg or something.

    Any evidence whatsoever of an adult Hitler attending mass?

    Since when have you believed in evidence? You've been unable to back up anything you've said.

    But while we're at it

    He joined the party and then the army.
    As regards his age, during that period, age did not matter.
    They still fought the allies incoming and represented an evil empire ...which sounds all too familiar to be honest with the current Rome lot.
    Both had head dictators barking orders and wouldn't give an inch.

    Boiled down to brass tacks.

    He compared Aesthetes to Nazis. Thats a review and opinion shared by many since he opened his gob yesterday.
    He joined the NAZI's, Youth and army.
    He says one thing and does another.

    ..And if he gave a fcuk about ANY human rights, he would stand up and sign any number of declarations of human rights out there - but while all the head of other religions do, the ageing Rome nut won't!

    Ratzinger would certainly know all the nuances of nazism alright.

    hmmm, since Ratty compared atheists to nazis, and has a well-known nazi background, is he trying to tell us in his own coded way that he is an atheist? Is he trying to get down with the cool kids now that he's escaped from the vatican?
