The Nazis derived most of their Mass support from the Protestant areas of Northern and Eastern Germany. The Nazis in the elections leading up to Hitler's rise to power consistently performed poorly in the catholic areas of Western and Southern Germany. The Nazis also had less success in the Urban Areas (which were dominated by the Communist and Socialist parties) than elsewhere. While some of the Nazi leaders (Hitler himself and Himmler for example) did come from catholic regions; the Mass Base of the Nazi Support was derived from the Protestant and Prussian areas of Germany.

-- this would explain why the Church was persecuted then, if they didn't support the Nazis wholeheartedly. Interesting trivia about Himmler. I already know Hitler was raised Catholic-- not only was he an altar boy, he flirted with becoming a priest- but Himmler surprises me bcuz he was into alot of New Agey type stuff
