The Nazism and Darwinism
It is not a coincidence that Neo-Nazis are inspired by the theory of
evolution of Darwin since, from the day it was conceived, Darwinism has
always been an inseparable part of Nazi ideology.
Nazism was born in defeated Germany after the First World War. One
of the founders and the leader of the German Nazi Party, Adolf Hitler,
was an ambitious and aggressive man who based most of his outlook on
life on racism. Hitler firmly believed in the superiority of the Aryan
"master race", and that this was the race that would lead all other nations.
Hitler devoted himself to the establishment of a pan-Germanic "Third
Reich," which would last a thousand years. The scientific basis of the
racist theories of Hitler was Darwin's theory of evolution.
Hitler was deeply influenced by Heinrich von Treitcshke, the German
racist historian who also developed his racist views under the influence
of Darwin's theory of evolution. He held that nations could only have
progress through fierce competition similar to the "struggle for survival"
proposed by Darwin. The following words of Treitcshke reveal his stance

towards other races.

freedom. It is the destiny of the black races to serve the whites and to be the
target of the whites' loathing for all eternity… 17
Hitler drew inspiration from Darwin's idea of struggle for survival
while formulating his theories. The name of his famous book Mein
Kampf, was an inspiration Hitler derived from Darwin's idea of struggle
for survival. Hitler shared Darwin's views about races and, just like him,
considered non-European races to be ape-like creatures:
Take away the Nordic Germans and nothing remains but the dance of apes. 18

The evolutionist views of the Nazis led to their adoption of the
concept of "eugenics", which means "the science of improving the (esp.
human) population by controlled breeding for desirable inherited
characteristics." However, the Nazis are remembered more for the
concept, prevalent throughout Europe at the time, even in so-called
