“Was that also motivated by Evolutionary thought. . . .” My understanding is that it was, at least to a certain extent. Social Darwinism was not exclusive to one side of the Atlantic. The Nazis even looked to the American eugenics movement (which was popular before WW2) as a model for their own society.

I don't think the people who came up with these types of posters for propaganda were motivated by Evolution, just racism and the need for propaganda for the war effort. The two are not synonymous, in fact any real understanding of Evolution is as anathema to racism as any real understanding of Christianity is. However both were used as a justification for racism. Moreover I am sure we can find apelike/inhuman depictions of the “other” the “enemy” in war propaganda put out long before Darwin published.

I am still looking for a direct quote, either written or spoken, directly linking Jew hatred with “evolutionary” rhetoric. I have supplied several (and can supply many more) that link Nazi's “understanding” of Christianity to Jew hatred. It seems the same direct link cannot be made.

A single unequivocal example of Evolutionary thought spoken or published by a Nazi leader to inflame Jew hatred among Nazi's? Anyone? A single example?
