explain how Hitler exploited the Nazi world view
Answers
Explanation:
Nothing can be known about the future, thought Hitler, except the limits of our planet: “the surface area of a precisely measured space.” Ecology was scarcity, and existence meant a struggle for land. The immutable structure of life was the division of animals into species, condemned to “inner seclusion” and an endless fight to the death. Human races, Hitler was convinced, were like species. The highest races were still evolving from the lower, which meant that interbreeding was possible but sinful. Races should behave like species, like mating with like and seeking to kill unlike. This for Hitler was a law, the law of racial struggle, as certain as the law of gravity. The struggle could never end, and it had no certain outcome. A race could triumph and flourish and could also be starved and extinguished.
The worldview of Hitler
Even universalists who say no one should go to hell are sometimes abashed to include Adolf Hitler among those purportedly escaping condemnation. How does a human become so satanic? How does he pick up support? Some say the story is “From Darwin to Hitler,” and it’s clear that “survival of the fittest” notions (with fittest defined as Aryan) percolated in Hitler’s brain. But beyond that is a mystery—and Yale historian Timothy Snyder’s introduction to his new book, Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning, peers into the abyss and offers provocative conclusions. —Marvin Olasky
