From Evolutionary Theory to Eugenics. Hitlers views on Eugenics The racialism and idea of competition, termed social Darwinism in 1944, were discussed by European scientists and also in the Vienna press during the 1920s. Where Hitler picked up the ideas is uncertain. The theory of evolution had been generally accepted in Germany at the time but this sort of extremism was rare. The theory of evolution espouses naturalism, i.e. no supernatural. Thats where you can tie Hitler to the atheistic worldview. Kip Coddington en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_eugenics
