Actually, as I said already some place else, no they didn't. Hitler was 
quite clear in the *one* speech that he made which actually mentions 
Darwin. He considered Darwin to be *wrong* because Darwin's ideas 
suggested that "fittest" was not the same as "most advanced", and he 
actually dared suggest in his book that black people might one day be 
the same as whites, and it was not evolution that made them live like 
they did, but circumstances.
