Blaming him on Darwin, when Hitler doesn't mention Darwin or evolution, is intellectually dishonest.

FYI…

Such a dispensation of Nature is quite logical. Every crossing between two breeds which are not quite equal results in a product which holds an intermediate place between the levels of the two parents. This means that the offspring will indeed be superior to the parent which stands in the biologically lower order of being, but not so high as the higher parent. For this reason it must eventually succumb in any struggle against the higher species. Such mating contradicts the will of Nature towards the selective improvements of life in general. The favourable preliminary to this improvement is not to mate individuals of higher and lower orders of being but rather to allow the complete triumph of the higher order. The stronger must dominate and not mate with the weaker, which would signify the sacrifice of its own higher nature. Only the born weakling can look upon this principle as cruel, and if he does so it is merely because he is of a feebler nature and narrower mind; for if such a law did not direct the process of evolution then the higher development of organic life would not be conceivable at all.

… If Nature does not wish that weaker individuals should mate with the stronger, she wishes even less that a superior race should intermingle with an inferior one; because in such a case all her efforts, throughout hundreds of thousands of years, to establish an evolutionary higher stage of being, may thus be rendered futile.

Yes, yes, this has been posted ad nausium. This isn't Darwinian. The idea of a struggle for resources in nature long predates Darwin. It is also correct. This is not natural selection. It also doesn't negate Hitler's belief that the Aryan race was the perfect special creation of God. His invoking *evolution* is a cartoonish version of the theory. It is a distortion along the same lines his Christian imagery is a perversion of Christianity. There is simply no such thing as a *higher* or *lower* organism, evolutionary speaking. From what I can gather, he believed that the *lesser* races were a product of evolution, and that the Aryan race was most certainly NOT.
