There is a huge difference between doing right because it is the right thing to do, than doing “right” because it is the practical thing to do to aid the survival of the species. In the latter case, “right” could mean eugenics and genocide. The Nazis truly believed they were advancing the species with their human experiments and culling of the weak and infirm, and as such, they considered themselves “good.”

I respectfully disagree. The Nazis did their best to hide and cover-up their crimes. They committed them under the fog of war. They new what they were doing was wrong, evil and unacceptable and possible only in the most extreme of circumstances. They saw their actions as the "necessary" thing to do, but never considered it "good".

I would challenge you to produce any primary-source historical documentation (the random musings a low-level SS automoton) that shows otherwise.

Read Nietsche, one of Hitler’s great heroes. In Nietsche, all traditional morality was thrown out in favor of Power, and Power was considered Good. They may have tried to hide what they did because it would be opposed, but that doesn’t mean they believed it evil, not hardly. The advancement of the Aryan race was a great and noble cause for the Nazi’s.

People who believe in Eugencs do so because they believe it will be “good” for the human race by eliminating the weak and infirm before they reproduce so as to purify and advance the race, and they were very open about it, and very assured of the rightness of it.
