Definitely. The Church of England (Anglican Church) is a break away from the Catholic Church and therefore following the basic ideals of Christianity. King Henry VIII wanted to divorce but the Pope wouldn't let him so he broke away, creating his own church, still following the same ideals but allowing him to divorce and making the crown the head of the church. Church of England and Catholicism are still very similar today and both are Christian churches and both, along with many others, are in England today.
Yes, the Lutheran Church did originate from the teachings of the Protestant reformer, Martin Luther. The Lutheran Church has many synods, or branches, with each differing slightly in belief. It is important to note that the Lutheran Church today may differ from some of Martin Luther's ideals, as he was one of many reformers or renewers of the Church. Martin Luther had concerns with the immoral practices occurring in the Roman Catholic Church during his time. Today the Roman Catholic Church has abandoned many of those practices.

The term Evangelical Catholic is used by Christians who consider themselves both "catholic" and "evangelical." Evangelical Catholic (catholic is the noun with evangelical modifying) can refer to: evangelical Protestant Christians who consider themselves catholic Christians that identify with the historic Christian Church, who believe that the early ecumenical councils and the Protestant Reformation were both part of the progressive illumination of the Holy Spirit; Roman Catholics who want to identify themselves more closely with evangelical Protestants with similar ecumenical ideals and "progressive illumination"; Catholics who simply want to define themselves according to a penchant for evangelism. Evangelical Catholics may include Eastern Rite Catholic Churches or other churches that are not Roman Catholic, such as Anglican, Lutheran, Reformed, Baptist, or Pentecostal.

Hitler has a lot to do with Catholics, for one he was raised as a practising catholic ! In later life he had his own warped ideas of religion and one could say he abandoned Catholicism. He did of course adopt many of the catholic church's policies and interrogation mechanisms that the Catholic church unleashed over 600 years of what is simply known and feared by most as the Inquisition. The extermination of the Cathars and other groups and eventually the extermination of anybody who was not of pure Christian blood. Although Hitlers ideals where different, the tactics and fear factor of the Inquisition was certainly adopted by him from the Catholics who where most successful at exterminating non catholic groups and or people on the filmiest of suspicions.
