Firstly, that, regardless of the ups and downs of his professional career,
Heidegger vocally supported the Nazis as long as they seemed to be winning.
And, secondly, that Heidegger did not just get caught up accidentally in
Nazism; he positively aspired to be the philosopher of Nazism, by expressing its
basic ideas in a form which could outlive Hitler (p. 346).
Jud;
What is more disturbing about Heidegger is his atheism that in fact enables a
Socialist, National or otherwise, political doctrine. In other words, his
Nazi affiliation is after the fact of his atheism.

Jud:
The Lutheran church, the predominant Protestant denomination in Germany, was
split. A majority was in favor of the regime and proceeded to integrate the
Protestant church into the Nazi state. A minority, however, criticized this
policy and formed its own platform, the Bekennende Kirche (Professing Church) with
Pastor Martin Niemöller as its leader.
“Hitler saw himself as a uniquely ingeneous leader of the sort that, as he
said, is given to the Germans by God only once every millennium.” By God, he was
right for himself, Heidegger and the Bekennende Kirche. But what has that to
do with Theos and A-Theos? If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck and
looks like a duck and so it must be a duck (except nominally).
