 He argues that several passages in the "Table Talk" reveal Hitler to have a direct attachment to Christianity, to be a great admirer of Jesus and "gave no indication that he was now agnostic or atheistic", a worldview Hitler continued to denigrate the Soviet Union for promoting.Steigmann-Gall maintains that Hitler's "view of Christianity is fraught with tension and ambiguity" and "Hitler's Table Talk" shows an "unmistakable rupture" with his earlier religious views, which Steigmann-Gall characterizes as Christian.He attributes this to Hitler's anger at his failure to exert control over the German churches and not anger at Christianity itself.
