To be fair to Darwin, the future National Socialists knew him largely as interpreted by Haeckel. It's just that in posing "Judaism" as a scientific and technical problem in a godless world, Haeckel invited others to suggest technical solutions, and history records that they did just that.

Darwin's works do not mention Jews. Anti-semitism pre-dates Darwin. German Christian Ministers supported the persecution of the Jews.

Nazi eugenics went beyond anti-Semitism to killing the weak and the mentally retarded, among others.

What Darwin did was to lay the “scientific” framework for the notion that man is just part of nature and therefore “nothing special.” If that is true, then killing men is fundamentally no more immoral than killing animals or, for that matter, destroying machines.
