4. Nazi artifacts    Some items exhibited in this section have already been referred to. The rest can be skipped, or referred to briefly. ~  A German Army belt buckle that says "God with us" in German illustrates a violation of one of the Ten Commandments - "You shall not take God's name in vain." ~ A picture of the church Hitler attended as a boy proves nothing. Surely if he had attended it once after he came to power, there would have been many photographs of it that the enemies of Christianity would have pounced on with great rejoicing. Why is it that mandatory boyhood church attendance means a great deal and voluntary non-attendance during adulthood means nothing? ~ Hitler had a cross on the grounds of his mountain retreat, the Eagle's Nest. Mr. Walker asks "Why would an anti or non-Christian allow such a symbol on his private property?" One can think of a couple of reasons. Perhaps it reminded him of the powerful fighting Aryan Jesus who died in the struggle against Jewish capitalism. Perhaps it was given to him as gift by the locals, and he thought it would be bad public relations to reject it - and even Hitler was mindful of public relations. ~ Then we are presented with "German Soldier Death Cards," cards with Christian themes to commemorate deceased soldiers. This presents another reason why Hitler would leave a cross on the grounds of his estate, and why he would make hostile comments about the church privately but not publicly. Many Germans with various degrees of Christian background or belief were fighting for him, who knows how many of them sincerely brainwashed into believing that they really were fighting to defend their fatherland against Bolshevism? Would they have fought so well if they had thought that Hitler was the Antichrist? Would they have been inclined to surrender more quickly, or go over to the other side, if they thought that their Fuhrer hated Christianity?    We now think of Hitler as the Supreme Warlord, or the raving maniac in his bunker giving orders to non-existent armies. It is too often forgotten that earlier in his career Hitler had skilfully developed an image of himself as a decent man, at least among Germans who had little access to outside information. This is why the worst Nazi crimes were cloaked in as much secrecy as possible, and why even Hitler found the need to invent plausible justifications for his invasions of Poland and other countries. ~ A front page of the anti-Semitic publication Der Stuermer is reproduced. That the editor, Julius Streicher, hated the bible and considered it to be a bunch of lies (as was documented in chapter one of this essay) is not mentioned by Mr. Walker. ~ Finally, a piece of anti-Jewish propaganda is reproduced. A crucifix is shown with a reminder that the Jews killed Christ. Then a bible verse is added by Mr. Walker - the passage in I Thessalonians we have already discussed which says that the Jews killed Christ and the prophets, do not please God, and are contrary to all men. He neglects to state that the same passage places the Gentiles under condemnation as well. He neglects many significant aspects we have discussed earlier - but propaganda does not need such superfluous things as truth or honest representation. A negative association is enough, and the end is achieved. Also omitted are Hitler's statements that religious antisemitism was inadequate, because it did not deal with the racial aspect. Many things are omitted, but they have been discussed elsewhere.
