Refresh my memory, was it Darwin, Wallace, Huxley, Haeckel, or Martin Luther Stay on subject. Hitler took evolution and applied it.

Evolution cannot be "applied". Evolution is the end-result of a population of organisms existing in a system where environmental conditions create advantages or disadvantages based upon heriditable traits. Blaming Hitler's actions on evolution only demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of what evolution is.

No. Hitler took Luther's dictates and applied them. Anti-Semitism and pogroms predate Darwin by literally centuries. Christians were preaching hatred against the Jews at least as early as the Second Century. The only innovation Hitler brought to the table was mechanization.

"Stay on subject. Hitler took evolution and applied it."He also applied aeronautical engineering. Does that make Boeing a nazi plot?
