Hitler was a devout Catholic and had accepted christ this is both documented by others and said by himself as shown in this speech that he gave in 1922: "I say: my feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter."
clearly he looked up to Christ and accepted him as his savior. Also note that what he did to the Jews and others is not out of accordance with scripture: "2 Corinthians 10:5-6: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled"
He saw the party as in interment for Christianity: "The Party, as such, stands for positive Christianity, but does not commit itself to any particular denomination. It combats the Jewish-materialistic spirit within and without us, and is convinced that our nation can achieve permanent health only from within on the basis of the principle: The common interest before self-interest."
From the Nationalsozialistiche Deutsche Arbeiter Partei Program, written by Adolf Hitler and Anton Drexler.
Hitler was also able to get the Vatican to support him: ""That there was an understanding between Cardinal Innitzer and Hitler, who made his usual glib promises to respect and protect the Church, nobody denies. When Hitler marched into Vienna on March 13, 1938, all the church-bells in Austria rang, and a Swastika flag waved over the ancient Cathedral. Two days later Innitzer had a cordial interview with Hitler, and the cardinal and four of his leading bishops issued a manifesto summoning all Austrians to vote for Hitler in the coming plebiscite. The cardinal wrote "Heil Hitler" after his signature.".

and even if one assumes that Hitler took part in crimes which where not covered under new testament law one must remember that the soul requirement for entrance into heaven is a belief in christ: John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
If they have that then regardless of their past crimes they are let in this is feather proven when Christ himself accepts into heaven to two thieves that he dies with their past did not matter to him all that mattered was that they accepted him.
so do I have this right or am i missing something here?
"god forgives all and he loves all. he could still be in the purgatory waiting for the judgement" see the thing is he did nothing to forgive at least according to scripture all his actions where justifyed 1) he was free to attack the jews because they did not accept Christ
2) he was free to attack the americans and British as well as anyone else that entered the war because they defend the jews who did not believe in christ.
no matter how you slice their no reason to think he did not go to heaven. Also he was catholic so him confessing his sins(what he saw as sins anyway) is a given.
purgatory is an Islamic concept not a
Christian one as far as im aware.
An Associated Press article from the Lansing State Journal, February 23, 1933, is headlined, "Hitler Aims Blow at ‘Godless’ Move," and talks about how Hitler was campaigning against atheist communists and wanted support from Catholic Nazis. One line in the article specifically says, "Hitler, himself, is a Catholic." You can see the entire article here(http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/unknown/hitler.html) In addition, in 1941, Hitler told General Gerhart Engel: "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so." He never left the church. He was baptized a Roman Catholic as an infant and was a communicant and altar boy in his youth.

yes the Catholic Church "leadership" was with him
"Washington and you’re not funny. How can you joke about something like that?"
This is no joke this is simply looking at scripture and trying to figure out if Hitler is indeed in hell like everyone assumes.Mind you in this debate I am taking the stance of a biblical literalist meaning that I only take into account what the bible specifically tells me is wrong or right while I personally(in real life) don’t agree with a biblical literalist interpretation of the bible otherwise you run into probloms such as this one.
