Read the article, go the original article on-line, and read a couple of the articles at the links. Mr. Klinghoffer makes a reasonable case that Hitler was a eugenicist (in fact, that's a truism). Eugenicism certainly took its cues from Darwin.

If we're going to examine the connection between Hitler and Darwin's theories, wouldn't it be appropriate to include an examination of the actual outcome of Hitler's philosophy and actions weighed against those theories? Hitler's own actions and nature resulted in his removal from the human gene pool.
