    Hitlers hatred of the jews is well documented and he may well have been raised a Catholic but he wanted the foundation of the 'master race' to be not based on judaic history as christinity is.

    The Aryans or Arians moved from central asia to North India about 5000 years ago. The area they moved from is present day Aran or Iran. In linking india including the indian swastika to Nazism, Hitler sought to justify his warped ideas of racial superiority.

    There is a linguistic link though between German/ English and Hindi/Urdu as these are all indo-eurpean languages which share a common origin known as a prototype langauge.

    Hitler may well have come across zoroastrianiam within his 'exploration' of North India history. Like the arians/aryans they too had moved to India from modern day Iran. I don't know if zoroastrians were aryan or not though without doing some research but I am aware of many of them are said to have moved to north india to escape religeous persection of arab islam.
