Hey guys thanks or taking another look at this post. When I first posted there was only 1 response. It shocked me that nobody had nothing to say on this subject. ;o)

The core American idea behind the German Third Reich was Darwin's theory about survival of the fittest...

Sorry MODS, this is one sentence, but this is a chilling factoid.

Survival of the fittest was not an american idea.

The völkisch concept of Kampf der Volkskörper had very little in common with Darwin's Theory, it was a form of vulgar social darwinism that thought of itself as Darwinist but in reality just didn't understand his ideas.

So what the hell are you talking about?
