At no time did Hitler profess to be an atheist. You will get people using the No True Scotsman fallacy to claim he was not a Christian, and the usual reattribution of Rosenbergs plan for National Reich Church to Hitler to claim he was a pagan. This is done by people who who cut and paste from web sites without doing any research and reading the original material.
In his own work, Mein Kampf, he states he was a creationist who believed in the Christian god. Sometimes, when he spoke against the church, he was talking about the Catholic church in particular. For example, he once said "Christianity teaches 'transubstantiation,' which is the maddest thing ever concocted by a human mind in its delusions, a mockery of all that is godly".
Transubstantiation is Catholic doctrine. From Speer, Hitler "sharply condemned the campaign against the church, calling it a crime against the future of the nation". There are many passages in the original Table Talk stating Hitlers acceptance of Christianity, and denunciation of atheism.
And finally we have his library, which is not only full of Christian books, but he annotated many of the passages he felt passionate about. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arch... Page 8 is particularly telling. No, Hitler was a Christian of sorts, closer to the Protestantism of Martin Luther, and anti Catholic.
Did he hate himself? I doubt it, he probably thought he was doing gods work.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
