Now from whence do you suppose he most likely got these ideas? From Sparta? Or from Darwin? Or to put it another way, of the two, which is more likely to justify what Hitler did, in his own mind?

Neither. It was probably from Martin Luther. Martin Luther's dirty little book.:

So vehemently did Luther speak against the Jews, and the fact that Luther represented an honorable and admired Christian to Protestants, that his written words carried the "memetic" seeds of anti-Jewishness up until the 20th century and into the Third Reich. Luther's Jewish eliminationist rhetoric virtually matches the beliefs held by Hitler and much of the German populace in the 1930s.

There was definitely Spartan influence in the SS, as well as an over-reliance on mysticism -- decidedly strange for a group supposedly driven by the sterile philosophies of science.

Martin Luther's dirty little book.:

While you constantly claim that evolution is science, you never like to discuss whether evolution is science or not. Instead you delight in Christian bashing. Methinks my statement that evolution is merely an excuse for legitimizing atheism and for trying to turn good Christians into atheists is perfectly correct.
