Satan. who, btw, hates God.
thalbergmad, you identify yourself with bigotry.it's illogical. and, as i mentioned to counterpoint, hitler wasn't christian. he was darwinian.
today - people are STILL interested in new age occult training. in fact, it is a central part of the UN! can you believe it?
hitler...what a strange painting of himself at SO EARLY IN HIS LIFE. this is one of the proofs of his early demon possession and Satan at work to inspire his seeming interest in religion. it wasn't in learning about God to obey God. it was learning to defy Him.
hitler called HIMSELF - anti-Christ. he was aware of his own situation, apparently. sitting opposite Christ in his own painting. not doing obeisance to Christ - but letting Christ do obeisance to him! sitting back, in obvious non-deference to the Holiest One. what a strange painting of himself at SO EARLY IN HIS LIFE. this is one of the proofs of his early demon possession and Satan at work to inspire his seeming interest in religion. it wasn't in learning about God to obey God. it was learning to defy Him.
hitler was also influenced by two other men: freidrich nietzsche, who urged that germany's christian values be reevaluated, and replaced by the values of evil - and richard wagner who actually was the one who coined the term 'final solution.'

the richard wagner who composed 'rienzi.' and, nietchze speaks for himself. read what he wrote.
Okay, it seems that Richard Wagner has said something in that sense, and I am the last who will defend Wagner.
but the they can be almost nostradamus like.
which was seen when hitler went to visit his wife and they discussed the 'reinzi' that hitler saw as a child.
cosima.
how about the character 'beckmesser' in 'de meistersinger?' jews were also made to be the goblin figures that go around hoarding gold.
it's all a bit funny to those who are into characature (sp?) - but the truth is that there was an anti-semitic strain to wagner which was seen when hitler went to visit his wife and they discussed the 'reinzi' that hitler saw as a child. now why would she even speak to him?as i see it - the whole thing is similar to the seriousness of which iranians view their leaders in western cartoons. they feel it could lead to something else.
have you ever seen an opera that is not a slight bit 'demented,' as you call it. and yet - there is always some sort of truth in an opera. names can be changed - but the they can be almost nostradamus like. hitler saw himself in rienzi. that was a bit demented and yet shows that the spirit of music can be powerful when combined with ideals.this is what wagner's own grandson had to say:https://www.therestisnoise.com/2004/05/wagner.html
Actually you are wrong, because Beckmesser never makes any allusion to goblins, and gold is the farthest thing from his mind.
Walter, it's a bit strange to me, that you argue with rhetoric tricks against pianistimo, while you clearly know, that Wagner himself was antisemite as well as Cosima.https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosima_Wagner#Cosima_Wagners_Antisemitismus_und_der_Bayreuther_Kreis
Hitler also liked Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - is she also responsible?
