and by the fact that the ones who had not sense and strength enough to do
this were killed off, man's brain became enormous and he waxed both in
wisdom and agility if not in size …. 67
Hitler drew support from evolutionists such as Wiggam and saw
war as an obligation for those who wished to survive. He stated this open-
ly in Mein Kampf:
The whole world of Nature is a mighty struggle between strength and
weakness–an eternal victory of the strong over the weak. There would be
nothing but decay in the whole of nature if this were not so. He who would
live must fight. He who does not wish to fight in this world where perma-
