"Schirach (the head of the HJ) advised the Hitler Youth in his domain not to snub the clergy, and even went so far as to give military inductees a gift of religious pictures and texts, which included one of his own poems."

— The Holy Reich, pg. 349

"Publicly and privately, the party's elite rejected paganist attempts to claim the mantle of "party religion," whether these came from members of the party or the German Faith Movement. There is little to support the claim that the German Faith Movement or its ideology were ever "widely supported" in Nazi circles."

— The Holy Reich, pg. 260

Note: The German Faith Movement was eventually effectively banned in the Third Reich. Suppression of the organization was carried out by Heydrich and the SS, as covered earlier in this channel.

“One who was especially contemptuous of Bormann in this regard was the Gauleiter of Schwaben, Karl Wahl. Raised a Protestant, he had married a Catholic and had his children baptized Catholic. Wahl had a remarkably close relationship with the Catholic diocese of Augsburg, specifically its second in command, Bishop Eberle. Residents of Augsburg could observe the two openly walking together "deep in conversation”. When Wahl received an emissary from Bormann complaining that not enough had been done against the churches in Gau Schwaben, Wahl responded by asking whether Bormann was "out of his mind" for wanting to damage public morale in wartime. The emissary responded that the attack on the churches was Bormann's "hobby horse," and Wahl quietly let the matter drop. He chose to mitigate Bormann's orders whenever possible until, he reported, "one day I just cut loose and threw everything that had Bormann's name on it into the fie, unread."”

"The churches still preach today what their master said 2000 years before. We deal with the same principles, with that great ideological structure which has passed through history. We therefore assemble the Volk around us again and again, we preach again and again the ideals through which we became great, not only in order to keep Our generation National Socialist, but rather to keep generations centuries after us National Socialist. We do nothing to harm the churches. On the contrary: We accept from them the work which they truly must manage themselves."

— Joseph Goebbels

“Consistency also characterized Goebbels’ low regard for the mysticism enjoyed by many anti-Christians. In June 1941, Goebbels banned all public performances of an occultist, telepathic, astrological or "supernatural" nature.”

A False Hope

With the National Socialist takeover of power, Pagan hopes for more influence and a greater share mushroomed. For the first time ever Pagans thought to have good 
reason to expect an end of their marginalisation and becoming a valuable, hopefully even a vital, element of the National Socialist revolution that had been set in motion. To their painful experience none of the anticipations erupting in 1933 came true. There was no single institution or governmental department, which allowed a Pagan influence to spread. The Ministry of Science and Education rejected all Pagan ambitions of getting involved in matters of school and higher education. In spite of minor successes at the federal state level, Pagan teaching and teachers continued to be barred from the educational system. The early breakdown of the German Faith Movement provides convincing evidence that, even under favourite circumstances, Pagans failed to expand their influence on a larger scale. They were even unable to attain ideological coherence in their own ranks and unite more than a part of its spectrum. On these grounds it proved hopeless to draw level with the churches and become a force to be reckoned with. In fact, Paganism remained the outsider phenomenon it had been all along, without the least prospect of parity with its Christian opponents.

"They [the foreign press] say of us that we are an anti-Christian movement. They even say that I am an outspoken Pagan…I solemnly declare here, before the German public, that I stand on the basis of Christianity, but I declare just as solemnly that I will put down every attempt to introduce confessional matters into our Hitler Youth."

— Baldur Von Schirach, head of the Hitler Youth

"Throughout 1933 Protestant field services were frequently conducted within the Hitler Youth. Many HJ units collectively attended Protestant services, and began meetings with such services. Pastors even took up office in the Hitler Youth. Well into the Third Reich, Hitler Youth continued to receive religious instruction from Protestant clergy, in which the juvenile audience was instructed to receive Christ, not Wotan, into their hearts. The HJ even participated in purely confessional ceremonies, such as a reception for the Inner Mission in Berlin. "

Odinists Persecuted

"From the beginning of the Third Reich, Odinists (pagans) were banned. In 1933, Rudolf von Sebottendorff was arrested and exiled. The works of Odinist writers such as Lanz von Liebenfels, Ernst Issberner-Haldane and Reinhold Ebertin were banned. Former membership of an Odinist congregation disqualified anyone from holding rank or office within the NSDAP. In 1936 Friedrich Marby, a runemaster and follower of Wotan worshipper Guido] von List, was arrested and sent to a camp at Flossenberg; he was released from Dachau in 1945. He was not alone. But the full power of the state was not focused on religious minorities until the 9th of June 1941 when the head of the security police, [Reinhardt] Heydrich, banned a large number of spiritual practices. Among the victims were followers of Rudolf Steiner, followers of von List, and traditional Odinists. Their organisations were dissolved, their property confiscated, and many of their leaders arrested."

—An article in a 1995 issue of the Australian Odinist magazine: Renewal™

"The Christendom of the early time was different to the one of today. The first Christians were fighters, who wanted to free their people from the Jewish ignominy. Then the Jew crept into that community and had the originally pure Christendom ridiculed by mankind. The first Christians were willing to die to defend the Christian doctrine."

— Julius Streicher

"Two thousand years ago a man was also denounced by the same race....The man was dragged before the court and it was also said of him, 'He stirred up the people.' So he too had been a 'rabble-rouser!' And against whom? Against 'God' they cried. Yes indeed, he roused the rabble against the 'God' of the Jews, for this 'God' is only gold.'"

— Adolf Hitler

Supposed anti-Christian remarks made at Reinhard Heydrich's funeral were, in fact, forgeries created by some 4chan users. In the pinned messages on this channel, you can find an interview of Heydrich's wife where she identifies her husband as a "Christian and an SS man".
