Darwin had no theories of a superior human. Read Darwin and try again.

Actually he ascribed to Eugenics which has since been disproven. While certain traits are passed on genetically there is no evidence that any one race has an abundance of "good traits" and that others have "bad traits". Evidence points to Human beings having such similar ancestors in their early history that their genetics have diversified along such extreme guildines, and that genetically humans are all so incredibly similar as to make Eugenics mute. Also unlike other animals there is only one species of human being alive today, hence for evolution to create "advanced humans" would require a new species which we do not have. Again, this refutes Eugenics.
Theories upheld for hundreds of years have been disproven before. Aristotle said heavy objects fall faster than lighter ones until Galileo decide to lob a cannon ball off the leaning tower of Piza. Newton though gravity travelled across space instnatly until Einstein proved him Wrong. But Newton's formulas still work, he got a little bit wrong adn a lot right. Today we feel that way about Darwin, if he ever did subscribe to the idea of human beings having evolved in our present time into seperate efficient and ineffificient races, he was since proved wrong. But as far as we can tell, he got a lot of other stuff right.

Yes that's true. Darwin's Theory of Evolution is about the "Survival of the Fittest" and "Natural Selection".
But Hitler manipulated Darwin's theory to conform with his agenda. He intentionally ordered the extermination of "inferior or weak races" so that only those who will survive would be the "superior race". So in a way, it is a "survival of the fittest". By intentionally selecting who will live and who will die also satisfies "natural selection".
It also became the basis for Hitler's "Euthanasia Program". By exterminating all mentally-ill, blind, mute, and physically disabled people. Defective genes are thus weeded out.

It's pretty easy to convince any group of people that they are the greatest people the world has ever seen. Vanity is just part of human nature (some people would call it Original Sin). Most of the better intellectuals in Germany didn't think much of Hitler's theories. But once the Nazi Party was firmly in power, they weren't allowed to say so in public. They either left Germany (many did), or kept quiet, or went to prison, or weren't allowed to work.

Hitler proposed Eugenics which is the antithesis of Darwinian natural selection. Read a book on biology or genetics sometime.

Hitler as Stalin wasted many time of their peoples-Germans would have done many useful and qualitative things in this idiot period of the second World War instead of fighting through Europe and Russia and prove by natural way what master race they could be..

Your talking out your neck! Hitler belonged to the Thule Society. Which incorrectly took Nordic teachings of the
spirit, and Father God, and turned into a materialistic
concept of a super human.

Rather stupidly, yes. Showing he knew nothing of evolutionary theory.
He was not the first to make such a mistake, both the USA and USSR used Darwinian theory to "prove" their system was the correct one. Blame the people, not the man.

Hitler was smarter than that. He knew that Evolution is a bunch of nonsense that defies the basic principles of Natural science.

Hitler didn't know any darwinian threories. He was a madman, and his emotions were all screwed up. He wanted Jesus to be a German.
