Nothing, absolutely nothing gave them any right to kill the Jews. The Nazi regime did as it pleased and didn't care about right and wrong: the Nazi leadership had no morality and no conscience. The Nazis operated on the principle "we do what we can get away with" - just as any psychopath does. (In fact, Nazi ideology expressly rejected conscience as weak, 'servile', Jewish and Christian ...)

That is why it was called "a War crime".

______________________________

The 'right of might' has always existed and will always exist. Every empire (whether they call themselves an empire or not), Kingdom or State has used it, even in today's world, just look at the newspapers. It is the same principle as 'Victor's justice', if you are stronger, then you can do whatever you want.

One could ask what gave Stalin the right to kill even more (of his own people).

Nazi party structure was built on a "if you want something, then take it'" policy, as the Nazis believed that this would produce the strongest leaders, rather than those who could talk the best (like Hitler).

Do not be fooled into believing that Nazis were psychopaths or otherwise insane, they were calculating and above all, they actually believed that they were doing good (though they knew that this was not the recoginsed opinion).
