Detailed Solution

Hitler didn’t believe in the equality of races. Rather he opined for a racial hierarchy. He believed that the blue-eyed Nordic Aryans were the superior race while the Jews formed the lowest rank. Jews, in view of Hitler, were regarded as enemies of the Aryans. This view was adopted by the Nazis and was introduced in every section of German society. Darwin and  Spencer never gave the theory of racial discrimination. Darwin explained the creation of organisms based on natural selection, while Spencer presented the ideology of the survival of the fittest. However, their theories were manipulated by racial thinkers to justify their rule.
Thus, both the Assertion and Reason are True. But the Reason is not the correct explanation for the Assertion.
