Resumen del Editor

For a man whom history can never forget, Adolf Hitler remains a persistent mystery on one front - his religious faith. Atheists tend to insist Hitler was a devout Christian. Christians counter that he was an atheist. And still others suggest that he was a practicing member of the occult.

None of these theories are true, says historian Richard Weikart. Delving more deeply into the question of Hitler's religious faith than any researcher to date, Weikart reveals the startling and fascinating truth about the most hated man of the 20th century: Adolf Hitler was a pantheist who believed nature was God. In Hitler's Religion, Weikart explains how the laws of nature became Hitler's only moral guide - how he became convinced he would serve God by annihilating supposedly "inferior" human beings and promoting the welfare and reproduction of the allegedly superior Aryans in accordance with racist forms of Darwinism prevalent at the time.

In-depth!

This is a compelling, in-depth look at Hitler's religious beliefs. From Hitler's views on Christianity to his reverence for nature and "providence," this book clearly outlines what role religion played in shaping Nazi ideology and Hitler himself. It's a bit dense and repetitive, but that's my only complaint.

very insightful

very insightful and well researched work on the beliefs of Adolf Hitler. one would need to read this twice to have a better grasp of the technologies used by the author, however it's very helpful. a must read for any student of WII history .

Hitler's Religion - (Subtile is ridiculous)

Last words of the book. - "Ultimately, however he perished because his God could not give him life"

This is about the only stupid thing in the book but you have to put these things in here in order to get it past the (((publishers))) of course. It is wrong because even in the book he talked about how the individual is not important to the race etc.

Good book though.

Informative and disturbing

Some have commented that there are problems with the narrator’s pronunciations. This is kind of humorous! The narrator is British and pronounces things the way a British person would;) He is very engaging and the story is fascinating as well as depressing and disgusting. The eugenics movement is a terrible blight on humanity.
