The pictures from December 18, which have only just come to light, show Hitler and his generals at a party for SS officer cadets in Munich.
But the Nazi Christmas was far from traditional.
Hitler believed religion had no place in his 1,000-year Reich, so he replaced the Christian figure of Saint Nicholas with the Norse god Odin and urged Germans to celebrate the season as a holiday of the ‘winter solstice’, rather than Christmas.


Interesting how socialists, then and now are still trying to remove Christ from Christmas.

Of course, you know that the Nazi Party was socialist in name only, right? They were more fascist and used the socialist name to make the party platform more palatable to the masses.

The German Workers' Party , the forerunner of the Nazi Party, espoused a right-wing ideology, like many similar groups of demobilized soldiers. Adolf Hitler joined this small political party in 1919 and rose to leadership through his emotional and captivating speeches. He encouraged national pride, militarism, and a commitment to the Volk and a racially "pure" Germany. Hitler condemned the Jews, exploiting antisemitic feelings that had prevailed in Europe for centuries. He changed the name of the party to the National Socialist German Workers' Party, called for short, the Nazi Party (or NSDAP). By the end of 1920, the Nazi Party had about 3,000 members. A year later Hitler became its official leader, or Führer.



Of course, Limbaugh doesn't tell you this when he states "socialism is socialism" and "Hitler, Lenin, Stalin were all men of the left" when in fact they were from the far right portion of the political spectrum.

They know it, but they think if they keep repeating it often enough someone will be stupid enough to believe them.

From your citation:

In 1944-1945, the Nazis tried to reinvent Christmas once again as a day to commemorate the dead, in particular fallen soldiers – by that time Germany had lost almost four million men in the war.

Hitler...urged Germans to celebrate the season as a holiday of the ‘winter solstice’, rather than Christmas. But while many Germans baked biscuits and cakes in the shape of swastikas and adorned their trees with the symbols of the Nazi regime, most still called the festival Christmas.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

So, it appears that Hitler tried to put the Christ back in Christmas. Using conifermtnman's logic, that would mean that the conservatives, who have been saying that Christmas is under attack, would be equivalent to the Nazi Party. Hmmm.

Yea, I agree....just like the Marxian Socialist Liberals have used the Democrat name to make the party platform more palatable to the "public educated" masses...


SC, and most Marxian Socialist Liberals still call it Christmas and then apologize to their peers. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/npr-rep ... as-on-air/
