Alright, I will direct you here then:

There are plenty of pictures regarding Hitler to be found here, go under RCC exposed on the side, and then Hitler & the RCC (gotta scroll down some from there for the images).
And please no comments on the “agenda” of this site. Thanks.
Hitler was the Chancellor of a nation called “Germany”. This is a major nation in Europe.
Believe it or not, prior to the Second World War, Hitler was generally well thought of. He was a world leader, and he was offered the customary respect that would be offered to any world leader. This is why he was allowed to meet with the Pope.
The “salute” was a customary greeting instituted by Hitler. During the third reich, it was a common greeting to the leader. The Bishops and Priests pictured were engaging in a custom which is not necessarily an endoresement of his policies or of his behavior during the Second World War.
Since none of those pictures have dates, we can’t be certain, but I strongly suspect that all of them were taken prior to the atrocities committed during the War. Looking back, they look bad, but they were perfectly normal gestures at the time.
Hitler’s policies were certainly incorrect, and some of these clergymen were certainly imprudent in even appearing to offer their support, but this is hardly an endorsement of Hitler’s atrocities.
You’ve engaged in a smear.
I would also like to point out one thing which speaks to this site’s credibility:
(
Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
This is supposedly a picture of a young Ratzinger offering the Nazi salute. It is not. It is a picture of him offering Mass (note the vestments). His left hand has been cut from the picture.
This is really a very sad attempt to tie this great man to the Nazis.
Finally, I would ask you to explain this fact:
3,000 religious, deacons, priests, and bishops were imprisoned at the Dachau Nazi concentration camp.
If the Church were such friends of the Nazis, why were priests targetted by them?
