The question is not so much whether Darwin would have approved but on what basis he would have disapproved.
Law? Morality? Economics? Darwin certainly would’ve considered Hitler a monster but he could hardly argue with his goals.

Excellent point. All Darwin could really say logically is "I personally disapprove". But that disapproval is simply my own "evolutionary" make-up impelling me to think this way.
Hitler could just as much say that his evolutionary make-up is different from Darwin's and his actions are simply the result of Darwinian selection.
