This is how Hitler used social Darwinism. He showed videos of animals killing the weaker to promote this idea. He viewed Jews as a weaker species, so he killed them. He also view old or crippled people as weak and thus, useless to society, so he killed them. Hitler believed that Germans were the superior race. To Hitler there was no point to keeping 'weaklings' alive because they were a burden to society and they 'spoiled' the human species.
Note: The name 'Social Darwinism' is misleading, Darwin had nothing to do with Social Darwinism, he taught that animals with the right characteristics survived, those without died, NOT animals killing each other for survival (survival of the fittest).

Adolf Hitler and the Nazis espoused the moral standards of 'social darwinism'. Social darwinism uses phrases & terms such as: 'the natural order of things', 'survival of the fit (or strong)', or 'might makes right'. This is in conflict with moral standards of the Judeo-Christian religions. Hitler & the Nazis were atheists that believed that the German volk (people & culture) were superior to the others in Europe, and therefore had the moral right & duty to destroy all inferior cultures & peoples, and spread the German population & culture into other territories & lands by means of military conquest & genocide.
Social Darwinism :)
I would hope not, but people don't realize how easy it is to be brain washed. Hitler used this idea of Social Darwinism to execute the Holocaust. He was able to do this because people are trained to listen to authority and follow the majority.
