Insofar as I affirm Traditional Orthodoxy, I've got no business asserting anything less than Traditional Orthodox Ecclesiology. And from that perspective, whether Hitler is "Christian" or not is of little more than historical-trivial significance. He is not - and never claimed to be - Orthodox; which indisputably puts him outside the Canonical Orthodox Catholic Church.
He was baptized into Papal Latin Christianity, and realized in his adult life that - thanks to the Protestant Reformation - it would be impossible to unite Germany spiritually as a Catholic Kingdom.
To solve this problem, he threw his immense political character behind "Positive Christianity"; which is essentially a pro-German ethnic national Ecumenism. Whether this was his Faith, or the Papism of his youth - or if he'd abandoned Christianity altogether, as some suggest - in no way does any evidence suggest that he was a member of the Body of Christ as understood in Traditional Orthodoxy.
While I'm aware so hard-and-fast a line may cause some discomfort, it's intended entirely matter-of-factly; no hint of impugnment or condemnation attached. And, as a consequence of such clarity, Hitler's overarching role in the broad scope-and-span of world history and the Economy of Salvation is drawn into sharper focus than I've found otherwise.
