"Hitler and Stalin et al accepted Darwins theory"
It is more accurate to say Hitler misused Darwin's theory. Social Darwinism was popular in Germany at the time, an offshoot of evolution that advocated the dominance of society's strong over the weak. So the Nazis of course considered themselves the "strong", and everyone else the "weak". But Darwin didn't say it is the strong that survive, it is those most able to adapt. In any case, you're arguing that correlation equals causation when you say Hitler believed in evolution, therefore evolution is evil.
