Detailed Solution

Hitler’s idea of racism was based on Charles Darwin.
The Nazis were heavily involved in crimes committed against society. Nazis made all those killings in society based on a distinct sense of belief or ideas about society. The Nazis and Hitler believed in the racial hierarchy and believed that the most powerful of the race was the Nordic German Aryans. The Aryans as a race were pure and higher in the race. The lowest group were the Jews. The Jews were the enemy of the Nazis as well as the lowest in the hierarchy. Hitler derived all these ideas, namely from Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer. Darwin tried to explain scientifically the evolution of plants and animals as a species group. But he never explained it in any means of racial supremacy. Many political thinkers believed and interpreted Darwin’s principles to their advantage. Mainly, the nazis thought that the Aryans were the most powerful race and the others were weak t enough even to stand a ground of their own.
