Hitler's own words.

"We will not allow mystically-minded occult folk with a passion for exploring the secrets of the world beyond to steal into our Movement. Such folk are not National Socialists, but something else—in any case something which has nothing to do with us."

Hitler even rallied against Paganism in Mein Kampf. He viewed Paganism as a type of cowardice used by people unwilling to stand against the Communists.

Granted I don't think Hitler was an atheist, but he certainly was not an Occultist or Pagan. If anything he was most likely someone who shaped Christianity and Christian themes into a political tool.
If you watched the show you'd see Hitler wasn't an outright pagan. Some of his henchmen undoubtedly were however and he used all sorts of symbolism and ritualism lifted straight out of paganism (and Christianity for that matter) to create a "nazi religion" which revolved around him as the "savior".

Hitler clearly said he was chosen by god as the "savior of the German people" on multiple occasions Whether he actually believed it or engineered it as part of his propaganda machine is debatable but I think Hitler actually believed it.

Hitler wasn't an atheist... he was a Christian monster.

Hitler wasn't a Pagan period. Some Nazis were interested in the occult, and some tried to paint Hitler in an occult mystic, but Hitler rejected this and often worked to supress it in the Nazi party. The fact that some Nazis view Hitler as some sort of occult Pagan doesn't change the fact that Hitler was neither. As I said earlier when Hitler passed the anti-Masonic laws it basically was a carte blanche to round up anyone who had anything to do with Paganism and the Occult and send them to concentration camps for being part of "secret societies" or otherwise being to free mason like.
