Wolfgang, the frightening thing for me is that you sound as if you actually believe those figures & statistics , and you had them too quickly to hand.
In times of upheaval, figures & statistics can be massaged no matter which country one lives - just ask a Ukrainian.
My view was formed by conversations with German people ( who were very open about the subject ) especially in around the Hofbrauhaus in Munich in the early 70's.
Nothing sinister, I was curious how Herr H. was able to get the attention and support of such a large amount of people, and basically ( getting back to the thread ) part of the attraction was , he was setting one organised religion against another.
