>hitler embraced christianity after all and nazis were always running around trying to reassure people that they were good christians
He did the exact opposite. He supported and funded Nordicist paganism, and undermined the various churches the second it became politically expedient for him to do so.

His taste for Wagner would seem like a sign for concern for Nitezsche, I think. Hitler was a dumpy, unathletic, kind of sickly and neurotic person, nowhere near as well-rounded and healthy as, say, Mussolini. His musical tastes were a part of that.

He was morbid and passionate; actually, he has far more in common with Jesus than Napoleon, in that his power came from his passion and creating fervor in a crowd. The difference is that his passion was based on a a desire for revenge of the bloodiest and most brutal kind possible, while Jesus (as Nietzsche saw him) craved love.

Nietzsche sometimes talked about sickness as a stimulus to health. I think that's what may have been going on with Hitler, what may have taken him from morbidity to aggression.

There's even a temperamental likeness between Nietzsche and Hitler. Nietzsche was more intelligent, less angry, and incomparably broader minded, but he was also a sickly lamb who wanted to be a lion.

>I tried it, it started out with some romantic reminiscing of a mediocre childhood.
He was bullshitting out of stoicism and a desire to keep his message positive.
