Was Hitler German or not?

Originally he was neither. He was born an Austrian in Braunau, Austria near Salzburg, and did not obtain German citizenship till 1932. As for his religion, He was brought up as a Catholic (though he did not associate with the church much).


When did Hitler realize no one was going to stand up to him?

He realized tht no one was going to stand up to him at 1930 July 6th.


How was Hitler brought up?

He was brought up by his parents, Alois and Klara in Osterreich. His father was a clerk from customs. By the ending of his life (Alois) he bought a farm where he tried to grow bees. That experiment did not come to a happy ending as one of hes other sons burnt the hives down. What I can do here is to recommend a very good book about Adis (Adolf) Hitlers upbringing: it's name is 'The Castle in the Wood' by Norman Mailer. ---


Were all Nazis Christians 1933-1938?

No. some were atheists. Many left the churches from 1933 onwards. Many were only nominal believers.----------------------- It is true that they were not all Christians, but they were all brought up in the Christian way, to have Christian values, which is more important than whether they attended mass or not, as is gave them antisemitic values from childhood onwards. Part of the agreement between the Vatican and Hitler was that in exchange for the church staying away from any political issues, they Catholic children's and youth groups were allowed to continue.


Why did the churches pose a problem to Hitler?

The morality (or lack of it) of Hitler's Nazi government was becoming more clear to several Church leaders in Germany by the late 1930's. Some leaders stood-up in opposition to Hitler's policies that sought to purge Jews & the disabled. They were imprisoned. Christian teachings were in contradiction to those ideologies expressed by Hitler and the Nazis. Hitler clearly understood that his views contradicted those of the Church, and sought to first corrupt, then remove the influences of Christianity from German culture & society. The German public was slow to recognize Hitler's goal to destroy the religion of Christianity within the Third Reich.
