the nazis werent pagan and had nothing to do with paganism. they just used the symbols that were used before to form germany into a nation.
the pagan elements and symbols were cool back in the time, mostly because of wagner(or more his wife).
and it wasnt just paganism, it was ol history that was IN. our lady liberty stands in the forest, and is a germanic warrior who fought the romans(and faces westwards to intimidate the french with his sword) and was build in the high time of forming the german nation.
they build a lot of pagan themed buildings in that time, another famouse one is the Walhalla memorial in bavaria.
the SS used those thing for propaganda with its Ahnenerbe division.
they made up alot of the symbolism. the original black sun is 80 years old and you can stand on it(its in a room in a castle, next to a youth hostel were many schools make trips to learn about history)

Yeah, I know. A lot of people though have claimed Hitler was a pagan (or neo pagan), mostly because no group wants to claim him. Are you German by any chance? Can you shed any more light on what Hitler did believe?

yeah im german, and hitler believed in a higher calling(for him), thats all. there was no beliefe behind his agenda.
the pagan fanboys were not so close to hitler, they were close to himmler and part of the SS. they saw themself as knights of the german blood and used the pagan symbols for propaganda. they were the elite of the nazi movement, but not so much in the mainstream movement(they were enemys of goebbels). the mainstream movement used christian antisemits alot more than paganism or other esoteric concepts.
