Hitler was greatly influenced by the writings of the American Eugenic Society. He believed in forced sterilization of the “unfit.” He wanted to eliminate those who were not “worthy.” He began the indoctrination of youth in the army. Nazi ideology was mixed into every subject and lesson in school. People who dissented were silenced and the clergy and traditional religions were persecuted and Nazi mysticism was placed to replace it. Of course, you can’t ignore the fact that Stalin resorted to mass extermination of non-conforming groups and proclaimed a godless state.
