Pannenberg speaks from the experience of his youth. Brought up as a Nazi atheist, he fought his way free of Hitlerian nihilism and underwent an intellectual conversion to Christianity. Pannenberg first won renown in the 1960s as a member of the "revelation as history" school in theology. He accused the pre-eminent Protestant thinkers, Rudolf Bultmann and Karl Earth, of divorcing Christian faith from history and therefore from rational thought, by ultimately basing their theologies on subjective standards...
Later, during the Allied breakout from the Cherbourg peninsula, came a Hitlerian command reflex that the Ultra team had learned to expect. Every time things went wrong, Winterbotham notes, "Hitler invariably took remote control, which was a bonus, since most of his signals went on the air." This time Hitler's frantic radio orders gave Eisenhower "the master plan straight from the Fuehrer." With the Nazis trapped at Falaise, Eisenhower sent General Patton plunging east toward Germany. "Without Ultra," Winterbotham argues, "we might have had to meet the Russians on the Rhine instead of the Elbe, and they would...
Guinness has worked hard on Hitlerian mannerisms: the walk, the deep, throaty voice, the oddly limp salute.

...Wrinkling her nose at Malnate's Fascist predilection for the workers of Ferrara, Micol returns his appraising once-over with "you're too much the industrious Lombard--besides, you're too hairy." Next to Malnate's animality, De Sica's aristocratic Jews are the ultimate wish-fulfillments to any Hitlerian dream of the perfect Aryan. Tall and fair-haired, they appear the descendents of some Nordic race, rather than the inheritors of a religion born on the Southern shore of the Mediterrancan...
...first hundred pages. Author Knef has a Hitlerian horror story to tell. At 19, politically no more sophisticated than any other shoemaker's daughter, the little cow jumped over the moon for an all-out Nazi film director named Ewald von Demandowsky. When the Russians reached Berlin, Hilde wangled a machine gun and some grenades and followed him to the front disguised as a soldier. Her account of what happened is a phantasmagoric exercise in battle reportage...
