Detailed Solution

Hitler's ideas of racialism were based on Charles Darwin.
Hitler's government primarily relied on Darwinism in formulating their racial policy, particularly Spencer and Haeckel's elaborations. As a result, establishing and implementing policies to defend the 'superior race' became a fundamental policy of Hitler's administration. So this necessitated, at the very least, barring the 'inferior races' from mingling with the 'superior races' to avoid contamination of the latter's gene pool. The notion of a "superior race" was founded on Darwin's original "survival of the fittest" argument, which included the principle of group inequality within each species as a primary premise and prerequisite. This worldview culminated in the final solution, which saw around six million Jews and four million other people from 'inferior races' killed by German scientists.
