Even if Hitler did base his entire strategy for conquest off of Origin of the Species and the Descent of Man, it wouldn't imply those works are factually incorrect, any more than the theory of gravitation would be factually incorrect because some jerk pushed his grandmother down a stairwell.

Try reading Richard Rhodes' The Making of the Atomic Bomb.

By the end, he came across as saying (at least to me) that since nukes could be used to stop communism, nukes were a bad idea ;-)

That's just a matter of personal opinion (with which I, along with about everyone on this forum disagrees). A more apt analogy to some of the attitudes around here would be Rhodes saying something like 'nukes could be used to stop communism, therefore the theories governing nuclear physics are junk science'.
