How could so many Christian German soldiers kill the Jewish people?

The number of German soldiers who carried out the Holocaust was relatively small. Perhaps those involved were non-believers or Sunday-only Christians.
Many of the prison guards were Ukranians etc that had been captured by the Germans. For some of them it was a case of 'kill or be killed'. Also, relations between Jews and Christians in Europe had been troubled many times over the centuries, with massacres and expulsions of Jews not uncommon.

Why were Jewish people globally recognized as victims of the Nazi Holocaust?
Because the Jewish people were the ones targeted, persecuted and murdered by the Nazis during the holocaust. Hitler declared his disdain for the jews, therefore his army, under his orders, slaughtered them by the millions. There were only a few of Hitler's soldiers that secretly despised what Hitler was doing and what he stood for, but the majority of Hitler's army took a perverted pleasure in the torture, mutilation, and murder of millions of innocent people just because they were Jewish. No other people (that I know of) were targeted by the Nazis like the Jewish people were. It made no difference to them if they killed infants and children, women or men.
